Tells you how fast he was. That was the beauty of Riggins was that he was so deceptive in his added abilities that went along with his power back strength.

Riggins did have speed, but he didn't get to the edge the way an OJ Simpson or an Eric Dickerson did.

He hit the corners on the power sweeps.

And he wasn't a big receiving threat either.

I doubt he had 30 receptions in a season more than 2 or 3 times in his career.

The comparison of Hillis to Riggins is total ****ing dumbassary.
