Kendall Hunter is a very dangerous weapon. He's not particularly powerfull between the Tackles, but is absolutely devastating outside of them: Great Burst, exceptional Fluidity, and tremendous Lateral Agility and Instincts.
Not a very good Blocker at this point, but has potential as a Receiver.
In my efforts to organize RB's by their styles, I've invented the terms "Smashers", "Slashers", and "Thrashers" as what I hope will be easy references, respectively, to Power Backs, 3rd Down Backs, and Hybrids. "Tail Back" and "Half Back" are used too interchangeably, and in any case, a 3rd term is needed, for there are 3 distinct types.
I'm going to call Kendall Hunter a Slasher. He could definitely do some work InSide, but his strengths are clearly on the Perimeter.
Beast!!

An absolutely tremendous 3rd Down weapon, DeMarco Murray could easily become one of the most electric Slashers in the Game. He's got an explosive initial Burst, blazing Speed, excellent Lateral Agility, and also commands outstanding Fluidity. Mind you, he does need to continue to work on running lower, avoiding exposure to the hits that've raised health concerns.
He's a solid Blocker and a dangerous Receiver.

In that vein, DeMarco Murray is clearly a Slasher, and, if he can stay healthy, he should be an exceptional one.

Jordan Todman hits all the marks, in my book, and with high grades: He's got an excellent initial Burst, and his best attribute is that he's got a very strong Core, which allows him to run low, and run with Power. He runs with Vision and Patience, and he's an excellent Navigator. He's got the Speed to hit the Corner, the Fluidity to Work the Field, and the Power to Move The Chains.
He's a decent Blocker and a very good Receiver.

Jordan Todman has the Size + Speed of a Slasher ~ a 3rd Down/Perimeter type of Runner ~ and I'll categorize him as such, but let the record show that his Repertoire is robust enough to allow him to do a LOT of work Between the Tackles, which makes him a very dangerous threat, indeed.

JacQuizz Rodgers commands a strong initial Burst, excellent Navigational skills, superior Fluidity, and exceptional Lateral Agility, a very impressive Repertoire.
He's also a very dangerous Receiver, though a decided liability as a Blocker.

JacQuizz Rodgers clearly falls into the category of Slasher, and a very explosive one. His "40" Speed is mediocre, but his FootBall Speed is outstanding.

DuJuan Harris brings a very intriguing set of skills to the table. His Processing Speed is sub par, which is a major Red Flag in my book, nor is he the greatest Navigator. Even so, he's got a powerfull initial Burst, excellent and, most critically, an exceptionally powerfull Speed,Core, which allows him to him to burst out of breaks with outstanding Torque, Fluidity, and Lateral Velocity. And for a little guy, he is a LOAD to bring down!!
His height is a disadvantage as a Blocker, though his effort helps, and he's a mediocre Receiver, right now.
Even so, his ability to tear back and forth all over the field make him a potentially powerfull Weapon...one who will almost certainly not be drafted!!

At his size, DuJuan Harris is clearly a Slasher. But his Skill Set is such that he could quite possibly spend the vast majority of his time running Between the Tackles.
Super Sleeper!!
