RB Jaamal Berry (Transfer to Murray State)

[3074326]

UHH....

None of those guys were SEC backs.

 

[schwab]

You only picked those 4, but none of those were RB's in the SEC. That was his point :)

It's been bugging me for a while trying to come up with a good comparison for Jaamal but I've finally figured out who he reminds me of; Chris Johnson.
Here's some highlight vids to compare.

We could only be so lucky.

PS: Chris Johnson is FAST.

 

[.:.Brutus.:.]

His running style reminds me of Jonathan Stewart. He's a little under weight from Jonathan, but has that ability to run you over or run away from you.

Try DeAngelo Williams.

I think Jaamal is a little more explosive than DeAngelo and not as strong. I still think he's closer to Johnson than Williams. But, I enjoy seeing what other people think.

With the way he makes people miss and changes direction, he kind of reminds me of a smaller Marshawn Lynch. Berry catches very well out of the backfield and has pretty decent power. No doubt that Berry has a similar running style as Marchawn:

I'll throw my name out there: Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans. Not the biggest guy (5'10, 200 lbs), but fast, reasonably strong and a good reciever out of the backfield.

*edit* Crap, nm, Oregon beat me to it. Good call.

Marshawn a.k.a. Beast Mode

These videos of Berry are absolutely amazing. I can only imagine what he'll do with that cutting ability with the holes that Block "O" will create.

I think the obvious SEC comparisons are with Bo Jackson. Or Ronnie Brown. I hear that Branden Smith plays CB a lot like a Big 10 CB...

I don't know about all the comparisons. I also don't know which impresses me more: the way he uses his blockers so effectively (very savvy for such a young runner); or the way he makes things happen when there is no blocking. Heckuva combination of talent, smarts, and instincts.

Dude, c'mon......

Larry Johnson
Brandon Jacobs (who was converted to LB at Auburn)
Julious Jones
Marion Barber
Adrian Peterson
Ladian Tomlinson
Marshawn Lynch
Reggie Bush
Willie Parker
Frank Gore

All SEC backs.........made perfect sense to me. We got a good one.....

Wow, thats news to me...

 

[Bill Lucas]

I want to see the first Jamaal Berry. The hell with the comparisons.

BTW, to the poster that mentioned Bo Jackson...uh...NO.
