I can't really find a good single player comp. If I had to name a single guy I guess it would be Bell, but I don't recall Bell being as stop/start in the open field.
I think he gets the Sproles comp from stature and strengths more than style. He's a short pass catching back with a good first step, so Sproles springs to mind. But I don't see Sproles in how he moves in the open field.

Sproles was a brain fart because I read his name before posting.
I meant to say Kamara and Ingram. I know that might sound a bit weird/lazy, but he played both roles in that Brady offense and when you keep that in mind and watch him he kind of just feels like the two put in a blender (obviously more Ingram in terms of size (not height obviously) and speed). It’s admittedly lazy, but he’s a difficult guy to find a good one for.
I like the Bell comparison too though given his patient running style and ability as a pure receiver.
Honestly, he’s got a lot of great qualities that make him comparable to many of these guys though. Can’t wait to see him.
