Jonathan Stewart comparison

Is it just me or does JStew remind you of Ricky Williams? After watching the espn special 30 for 30 on Ricky Williams I realized how much of a beast the guy was and started watching some youtube videos of the guy. After watching the video I posted I started thinking how he and JStew run very similar. They are also both 5-10 and weigh around 230. Ricky Williams like it or not is one of the best running backs of all in the NFL and College. If he didn't have his problems then he would no doubt be breaking records this year. Ricky is a running back that has tremendous power but has great speed that can help him break a long run. Ricky Stepped up and put another 1000 yard season under his belt and since he spent so many years out he could play many more years because his body doesn't have the wear and tear that many RBs his age does.

Here are some videos I found on ricky watch them then see JStew and tell me they dont resemble each other

eh. i see it, but i've always thought ricky and deangelo williams had the same running style...but ricky runs with more attitude and is more physical.

stewart has always reminded me of a more elusive natron means... you can almost count on them running downhill and both have the same "i'm not going down so you better hold on until help gets here" attitude.

Ricky had/has a lower pad level, more speed, and more elusiveness than Jonathan Stewart. Stewart is your ideal between the tackles runner that's going to get yardage the hard way when he has to. Ricky was more of a hybrid like DeAngelo in the sense that he could hurt you either by breaking your ankles or running you over. Ricky had the potential to be the best to ever play, but mental problems and drug problems drained that ability.

Stewart in open field doesn't really scare anybody in the sense that they can't catch him. He's fast enough, but he's not "Oh wow, that just happened", fast.

...but not quite in DeAngelo's league. Simply does not have DeAngelo's moves, though he is probably a touch more powerful. DeAngelo has averaged 5.0 yards a carry for three years. Williams has never been there for a yearly average.

The above being said, if he did not have mental issues, perhaps the above would be a bit different.

    • And perhaps to a lesser degree, Coker, Umanmielen, Ransom, & Smith-Wade. 
    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.
