When asked which running back in the country right now reminds him most of him ... SCAR's Mike Davis.

Don't think he has dementia but he is a very nice man. He can barely walk though, his knees are completely gone. It's kind of sad when you see him around Austin. His Hot Links are outstanding though.

Yep, you're right - its not dementia. I've heard it is nerve damage to hips & legs for all the punishment he took as a runner. The hit on Isiah Robinson, LB for Rams, essentially shortened Robinson's career (at 2:50 mark below). I think Marshawn Lynch comes close today with his style, but I've never any anyone else dish out punishment to the others like this:

And there was this little stiffarm from the swc days on some poor smu db trying to tackle Earl high.
