Akrum Wadley bears a striking resemblance to one of the greatest to ever run the football. Though not as prolific out of college, we look at this 5’10” 194-pound running back to see exactly what makes him special and if he would be a good fit for the New York Jets.
Hard cuts to the left, then jukes to his right, he spins and off he goes into the end-zone. In celebration, he flips the ball into the referee’s hands. In the same way, out of Oklahoma State University and into Canton, Ohio, Barry Sanders played with a unique style that then made the running game more exciting than the passing.
