    I have no skills in evaluating RB, but I do have a voice in the back of my brain persistently whispering Ramonce Taylor.

    Doesn’t look nearly that sudden or fast.

    Ramonce Taylor was probably faster and more explosive. He was also a very dangerous as receiver out of the backfield.  Rickey Looks to me to be a natural running back with great vision. Very smooth but not as fast.  Very natural runner. I like him a lot.

    I would have gone through probably 500 former players before making a Ramonce Taylor comparison.

    And I don't have a good one at all. The choppy steps reminds me of Ricky.

    It's probably the jersey number and dreads and upright running style, but he reminds me CJ Baxter.

    I was going to say Johnathan Brooks

    So what does this guy run? LSU commit C. Durham just beat WR D-Moore with 10.35 100 M. It would be great to have that kind of speed, but doesn’t sound like this guy has that. Are there on times on him?

    Didn’t run track this year due to rehabbing a minor knee injury from late in the season. I don’t think he’s a track sprinter type. 

    When I made a trip through East Texas a few weeks ago … there was a recurring theme … three head coaches that went up again Chapel Hill or watch them live said this “Stewart is faster in person that he appears on tape”. He’s got a game gear about him.

    No doubt Ramonce had the top gear.  But on the field in space, Stewart just is slippery and quick.  Great anticipation vision.

    As an east Texas guy, I love Rickey. The last time the Longhorns had a great Ricky at RB, it was 1998 Heisman winner. We're do for some 1998 magic.

    I see a shorter Jonathon Brooks with his vision, cutting ability and balance.
