MLive.com - Lions rookie running back Jahvid Best hasn't played a down of regular-season football, but he's already being compared to franchise legend Barry Sanders.

 

"In my nine or 10 years of being here, I don't think we've had a running back with his skill set, the way he can cut and get upfield and his quickness, that stopping and starting and getting up to full speed," Lions veteran tackle Jeff Backus said.

 

"From watching Barry Sanders when I was a kid, he's got a lot of his traits."

 

Backus wasn't alone in making the claim.

 

"(Best) has got a good feel for the game and good vision," Lions linebacker Julian Peterson said. "As long as the offensive line gives him a little room, I think he'll take care of the rest, like Barry or one of those types of guys."
