Maybe not as robust a runner as Dixon, but a bit brisker.

Oh disagree there. Dixon is north south run you over without great vision which is why he never made it in NFL but was a great SEC back imo. Foster had elite vision and a very fast lateral move if needed which translates well to NFL when you cant just run everyone over unless you are d henry

Yeah, Dixon looked for contact when he ran. He didn't even try to avoid tacklers. Lol
He ran straight downhill.

Amos is probably better than everyone mentioned here.

No vision? He ran counters and zone plays exclusively. You don't have positive yards with no vision in that blocking scheme. You're relying on the back to see or find the hole. The fact that once he gets going he doesn't avoid contact was what wore defenses down.

Stop it. The comparisons are NFL players, he's still in college on his 3rd team.

oh the opinion thing again, huh? Amos will play in the league and longer than AD and we all know why. I think he's an overlooked stud.

He's not overlooked being the 2nd highest portal option available.

I really hope he is but it feels like we are getting ahead of ourselves.
He only averaged 5.1 ypc against a P5 schedule and for comparison he did not have the highest ypc on his team. Better than anyone on this thread is a stretch
He was a 1000 yard rusher, he has a good offer list, and he projects well into our offense. Will settle for that as a starter and build from there.

I have only seen footage of him running in space. He's about to start getting lit up with contact and I want to see footage of him breaking tackles.
