looks like he actually has to get tackled to be tackled. whereas McCluster could get taken down by a stiff breeze.

The biggest difference between DAT and McCluster is elusiveness and ability to break tackles. DAT's change of direction is amazing while McCluster had nothing but that useless spin move to try and make defenders miss, and he's not going to go down every time he's touched either. We must value that ability to cut on a dime bc we got two of the best backs in the past two drafts in that department.

Look at the huge run at 9:04.
#7, Aaron Henry, Ran a 4.54 40 yard dash #14, Marcus Cromartie, clocked a 4.35 40 yard dash #12, Dezmen Southward, clocked in at 4.38 in his 40. What makes Thomas really special is how quickly he goes from 0 to 60. He has special acceleration with elite top end speed. De'Anthony Thomas had 2 carries in that Rose Bowl game against Wisconsin. He took them for 155 yards and 2 TDs. |

The other difference between them is that Thomas is a far better receiver coming out of college than either Barner or LaMichael James were. He looks a lot more like Tavon Austin than either of those guys. Thomas is the kind of player that you have to have a plan for if you want to take advantage of his gifts. Reid, if his track record is anything to go by, is fully capable of doing that. |

The 1 arm tackle attempts in the beginning would have brought mccluster down. He makes defenders wrap up to bring him down not bad for 175 lb guy. I am not saying he is Jamaal tough but comparing him to a young Charles isn't a stretch. Charles is special so I don't see Thomas being able to have the carries he does but explosive weapon by creating mismatches like Charles does will be great.
