Is Travis Etienne the next Gale Sayers?


Nov 15, 2017, 9:07 PM

Too early to say but look at comparative first year (NCAA did not allow freshmen to play when Gale was coming up). In 10 games, Sayers ran for 1,125 yards on 158 carries; 7 touchdowns. ETN through 9 games has carried half as many times with higher average per carry (7.7 to 7.1) and 9 TDs. Watching his highlights he has the same kind of cat like balance and hip shifts as Gale. While Sayers may have had the most incredible open field change of direction ever, in my memory no one hits the hole faster than ETN.

Did Gayle Sayers run with that type of power?

I was thinking more like a poor man's Bo Jackson. That sounds bad, but that is still a compliment. Bo was the best ever imo, but just got hurt too soon. Anyway, check out the comparison.
