He's never been a household name. But I feel quite sure that throughout the course of the last couple of years .Ê.Ê. people in the National Football League recognize what he's done. You get a pretty good feeling for it during the game when you see running plays that maybe get 2 or 3 yards.

absolutely believe best diego driven early given pride reference running san seen success threw wants year
Early on while here in San Diego . . . I used to reference him as one of the best I have ever seen. A year ago, when (he was) injured, I threw away that caveat, and said I believe he is the best running back I have ever seen in professional football. The best part about it, given all the success he has had, he is absolutely driven by one thing and that is a pride that he wants to be the best.

He's got great stop-and-start quickness. As a runner he's hard to find. I'm not going to put him in his category but skill-wise he's like Barry Sanders. His stop-and-start quickness reminds me of that.
