Uh . . no.


Eddie George is a decent comparison. I still think Brandon Jacobs is the best comparison as far as similar running styles and their physical stature.

I know Hilliard is not nearly as big as Jacobs and I am not suggesting that he is that big hence the title of OP.

Well I certainly don't think Hlliard is similar running back to L. Blount. At all.

Maybe only so far as their height/weight but I would say it ends there. IMO they just don't look anything alike as far as their body type and they run with different styles.

Hilliard seems to be more of a bruiser, plain and simple. I don't seem him changing from that style, he will be a battering ram.

While Blount is a physical back he appears a little more athletic. I have seen him on multiple occasions hurdle defenders in the open field (last weekend I think was one case).

Just my opinion. They are both big physical backs. I'll give you that.

Peyton Hillis? Brandon Jacobs is an overrated power runner.

Hilliard is too young to compare him to any NFL back. Let him carry the rock just a little more. BJacobs is a monster

Not trying to compare what he will become or to an exact clone. Just trying to think of someone with a similar body and running style.

I was thinking he was more like a smaller version of a Diesel Locomotive. He and Honey Bear could be up for the Heisman next year both incredible

Kenny Hilliard is just Kenny Hilliard. By the time he's done here, we'll be saying "Runningback X is like a/an <comparative adjective> version of Kenny Hilliard."

The fact that Kenny is literate separates him from Jacobs.

Reminds me of Rudi Johnson when he was at Auburn the way he runs behind his pads and uses his quick feet. Rudi was really good when he was there.
