TNET: Former Clemson coach: Travis Etienne plays like "bigger Barry Sanders"

Former Clemson coach: Travis Etienne plays like "bigger Barry Sanders"

Jeff Scott says Travis Etienne doesn't need any hype, but if any NFL GM is listening -- particularly in the former Clemson coordinator's new hometown -- he is m Read Update »

Initial thought was....idkkkkk because ETN isnt really a wiggle and I'm out kind of dude but that comparison makes sense (being hard to tackle).

Granted, some OGs on the board may be able to better spell it out since I have only seen the Barry Sanders crazy agility videogame like moves highlights.

I do not see that comparison at all. Very different running style. Barry also is arguably the greatest RB in CFB History, at least on Mt Rushmore imo. ETN is great and probably the best in Clemson History but not close to Barry.

C'mon, lets not get silly

Travis was incredible but comparing him to Barry Sanders is nuts. Two completely different kinds of runners.

I remember Sanders at OK State. He was almost too good to believe. It was wild. He was so good he made Thurman Thomas (his predecessor at RB) look like a plow horse.

I won't even mention the NFL.

Like he said, Travis is bigger. We will see how this plays out in the NFL.

Ok, the Michael Jordan thing, if I close one eye and squint with the other I understand what Dabo meant.. But Jeff is stretching this by a whole lot lol.. and I absolutely love ETN. IF I were to compare him to anyone it would be Kamara. Barry? Bruh... if he gets anywhere NEAR that level he's a Hall of Fame Back!

This is a silly comparison. Barry had the vision to see the crease and cut ability to get to it on a dime. Second, he didn’t have the 5th gear like ETN. Barry made his yards faking all pro defenders out of their jock straps, then would get caught from behind. Travis needs the opening in front and then plows through defenders or out races you to the endzone. He also has developed into a good pass catching RB. That’s something Ssnders wasn’t tasked to do very much.

Love some ETN but Barry Sanders all-time best NFL RB


Mar 17, 2021, 10:14 PM

So Scott is practicing a little overkill with the hyperbole because no one can change directions like Sanders who led league in rushing so many times with no blocking. ETN had no blocking this year. And it showed he is not Sanders. Who is? But he is capable of an All-Pro career with the right team and the right line. I'll be pulling for him. And ETN will soon learn from experience what his best NFL playing weight should be ...
