That's a complete load of shit. He can absolutely make people miss because he has a tremendous ability to quickly cut and change direction. Those clips above show several instances where he makes those rapid, subtle shifts and slides into creases many RBs can't. His 3-cone in the combine were stellar.
The problem is that he needs space. That's different from a guy like Charles, who can work regardless of whether you give him space or not. Because he's not going to break many tackles. Yes, he has his limitations. He's not going to be an elite player. But there's most definitely the upside that if you have a coach and a QB who know how to get him the ball in space, he could be lightning in a bottle sporadically throughout the game.
