bull catch great guy jets move past running spin stop yards
He's a guy that has every move you need as a running back. He can stop you in your tracks. He can stop and go on a dime. He can spin on you. He can catch the ball. He can run over you. He can bull you for 3 yards and get into the end zone. Then he has the jets to get past you. He has everything you need to be a great back, and that's why he is one.
