Why Jamaal Charles says he's 'LeBron of football'

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles is feeling extremely confident heading into his eighth NFL season. At Chiefs training camp Saturday, Charles went as far as describing himself as “the LeBron [James] of football.”

Seriously.

According to Charles, his versatility separates him from all the other running backs in the league.

Via the Kansas City Star:

“As long as I play in this league and I play on a high level, I’ll always feel like a team is going to have to stop me. I feel like sometimes, I’m the LeBron of football, especially at my position, because I can do so much.
