So I think I referenced this run somewhere on the board:

Video does not do this run justice. I was about 25 yards downfield of this play as it was coming towards me. That bounce he makes to get around #21 and get the edge was simply unreal in person. I'm completely square to that play watching it and fully expecting him to just drop his shoulder and finish that run to about the 39 yard line.

Then suddenly he's just somewhere else. The speed he went from inside the blocker to outside the blocker was just something I've never seen. And nobody really mentioned the run because it was early in the drive in Chiefs territory on a 2nd and short so it was easy to lose track of.

But THAT was the play where I said to my buddy "holy shit - did you see that?" Guys just don't move like this guy moves. And again - video doesn't do justice to just how unexpected and how quick that little jump cut happened. His change of direction is as unique as Mahomes ability to throw off-platform. It's simply a unique weapon that nobody else in the league has, IMO.
