I've never really appreciated how much of a monster Stewart is. Guy's an inch taller than me and 70 pounds heavier.

Who the hell looks like this in high school?

Apparently a future NFL 10-year starter.

"Top 5 rushers of all time.

A running back needs to be able to get low to the ground and gain leverage on the run, and while not using his hands. He needs a strong center of mass so he is more difficult to tackle. Finally, he needs to have a solid build that is able to withstand the constant full-speed pounding their job requires from them.

  1. Emmitt Smith 5′9″ 210 lbs - Known for his freakish durability and amazing field vision. missed 2 games in his whole career with Dallas, and that was a contract holdout. He would miss more at Arizona at the end of career, but he’d already broken Payton’s record.
  2. Walter Payton 5′10″ 200 lbs- Despite his nickname, “Sweetness”, Payton was better known for his powerful running and phenomenal durability.
  3. Barry Sanders 5′8″ 200 lbs- The ultimate elusive back. When you watch a “Greatest Runs of All Time” reel, chances are, you’ve seen Sanders carry the ball. Retired early for a few reasons.
  4. Curtis Martin 5′11″ 210 lbs- Great field vision, and got this far without the fanfare of the other four backs on this list. His time with the Patriots and Jets saw consistent play and an unshakable will.
  5. Ladanian Tomlinson 5′10″ 215 lbs- Mr. San Diego. In my opinion, he was the most complete running back on this list, with Payton being a very close second. He not only ran the ball with agility and power, but he was also a great pass-catcher and a by-the-book blocker.

These backs have something in common- they are just under six feet tall and weigh in the low 200’s. Some on the top rushers’ list are larger (Jerome Bettis) or smaller (Warrick Dunn), those ranges seem to be the prototype"

 

I am a fan of the big bruising type of RBs. Love Stew. 

That being said, CMC isn't too small.

Bill Voth with the first substantive info about the day so far:

 

  • But the early session did provide a number of takeaways, most notably, how quick and sudden running back Christian McCaffreyicon-article-link.gif appeared. He was either sprinting while everyone else was jogging or he's just that much more sudden. Former Charlotte 49ers receiver Austin Dukeicon-article-link.gif , who's here as an undrafted free agent, wowed at how "crisp" McCaffrey was in his cuts.
  • Wide receiver Curtis Samuelicon-article-link.gif's route-running was as advertised. The second-round pick needs some refining, but he looked much smoother than a guy who's played out wide for a little over two years.

 

  • Taylor Motonicon-article-link.gif, who the Panthers picked up late in the second round, saw snaps at right and left tackle.

 

  • Third-round pick Daeshon Hallicon-article-link.gif looked every bit of 6-foot-5, but it's clear the 265-pounder needs to add some muscle.

 

  • At 5-foot-10, fifth-round cornerback Corn Eldericon-article-link.gif is the shortest cornerback at minicamp. He saw some reps at outside corner, but the bulk of his work was at nickel, as expected.
