re: The fastest speeds reached by NFL RBs in 2017....

Kamara isn’t a sprinter. His agility and balance is what sets him apart.

He's also got the best initial burst and acceleration in the league. Remember he had the highest vertical and broad jump of any RB at the draft last year. And that typically tests initial burst and acceleration.

Kamara is explosive through the hole and he has amazing balance and agility that allows him to break tackles and make people miss once he's in the open field. And he has enough top end speed that if he gets a crease he can take it to the house. He's basically close to being the perfect RB.

The only RB I've seen with a better skill set is Saquon Barkley because he can do everything Alvin can do in addition to having that freaky top end speed where nobody can catch him.
