    ...as per the NFL channe's top 100 players for 2012. I know he's not an every down back, but surely he's should be higher, right? Here are a few that are rated higher - Fred Jackson, AJ Green, DeSean Jackson, who quit on his team last year. Definitely underrated, IMO.

    He's new. He'll be up there after this year.

    #86. Tell that to the guys trying to defend him.

    Considering that he broke the single-season record for all-purpose yards, I think 86th is a travesty. I don't remember ever seeing a player so explosive as he was last year. It seems like he gets up to full-speed in about two steps. He does to NFL teams what Reggie Bush did to PAC-10 teams when he was at SC. Dude is a freak.

    I disagree, considering some of the names of those ahead of him.

    Yep. Like CC said, last season he broke the single-season all-purpose yardage record. He torched defenses last year.
