A healthy barkley is arguably in a class of his own. I think he has the best home run hitting ability in the NFL and had a good statistical year while being way under 100% with a bad OL.

The term "can score on any play/touch" is pretty overused. Not a lot of people fall into that. Hill and Barkley are two who do.

I voted Zeke but he took a big step back this year. He put on some pounds a day just didn't run with the same sense of urgency he did in years past and I blame that contract. Its like Thor God of Thunder in Infinity War to Fat Thor in Endgame kind of transformation.

If I had to do a comparison with say hall of fame running backs to Barkley (PSU Nittany pride in an alum) and McCaffrey is 

 

Barkley reminds me of Emmitt running and Faulk catching

 

McCaffrey reminds me of Roger Craig both running and receiving especially the stop and juke move Craig was a beast doing that

Dont do that. You are better than this. Ekler was 8th amongst all rbs in yfs, while having 8 starts, only rb with atleast 6.0 yds per touch and ge was actually at 6.9. While 5th in rb total tds while having 61 less touches than any RB above him. Ekler is a 3rd tier guy.
