Kareem doesn't get the credit he deserves. He hits people and barely gets hit as a result. His balance is phenomenal and he doesn't exactly have a good line to run behind. He never, ever fumbles which is insane given his running style.
Obviously Kamara is a more dynamic talent, but i think Hunt is truely the best fit for this offense with all the speed we already have. I think Hunt adds that toughness - he doesn't go out of bounds and lowers his head, fines be damned. The guys only 23, I think he's gonna continue to improve and he's already a top 5 back. [Reply]
Don't know what changed but he seems to be running with a lot of anger this year. I like it. Just keep your doofy face out of the opponents after you're done wrecking their shit. [Reply]
I think due to his style, Hunt will be effective longer than most. He dishes out more punishment than he takes, and he's not a burner so speed is not a huge part of his game. That elite balance will serve him well. More like a bigger Marcus Allen type than a Jamaal Charles type. [Reply]

I think so too. His legs are way thicker than Jamaal's. Doesn't mean he's injury-proof, but the stronger your legs are the less likely you are to blow out your knee. Charles was great to say the least, but you held your breath every time he touched the ball. Gotta love the fact that Hunt hasn't fumbled since his first carry too. Excellent receiver, one of the best backs playing right now for sure. Tons of heart. Could go down as one of our best draft picks ever, in hindsight should've obviously been a 1st-rounder. [Reply]
Being overshadowed by Mahomes this season but this guy is amazing. Likes to hit people and those tree-trunk legs make him extremely hard to tackle. Beast! [Reply]

I said it last year but Kareem's legs are different than most people. The hips being rotated out like a reverse pigeon toe cut down on his top-end speed but give him incredible balance.

Pay close attention to them.
You know what...I've always walked and ran like that too..people gave me shit for it for years. [Reply]
Nah really when your feet point out like that people give you shit about it, especially kids even now occasionally my kids will ask me why my toes are pointed out.
It's like uh I dunno that's just the way my feet and legs are? [Reply]
