So, why was Strong a binkie for me? Well, the Jackrabbits are local enough to Iowa to be on my radar, for one thing. Apart from his speed (and I'd argue that his play speed isn't as eye popping as you'd expect from the "fastest RB in the draft" designation) are his subtlety in the second level (the minor directional shifts that defeat angles and get 3rd level defenders twisted around), his patience, and a weird knack for making his cut at or past the LOS.
He plays RB with his eyes, drifting behind his blockers, drifting not just laterally but
forward. He seems to make his cut within a yard of the LOS or even after it. It reduces negative plays and forces second-level playmakers to react with less of a runway to set themselves for the tackle.
This isn't a bad video to see some of what I'm talking about:

1:50 is a N/S run but still shows this trait.
3:50 is filmed from a bad angle, but is another good example. The 4 plays that follow are also good examples, though one is a N/S play and on one the cameraman was fooled which makes it harder to see.
5:00 is a GREAT example of his patience and this "late cut".
2 straight plays at 5:47.
2 more at 6:40, though the cameraman got fooled again on the first, helps to slow the video speed and look at the very top of the screen for a viscous late seam cut.
