I made some GIFS of Kaleb's two long runs from the endzone view just to make a single observation (hope the images stick).

Kaleb's superpower seems to be his ability to make a very subtle feint that gets defenders to commit to the more obvious hole while he maintains his speed with just a little side step and gets around them.

He did this on both these plays and it's his ability to make a 2nd level guy miss without losing speed that is so impressive, especially since it's not some big dramatic spin move or anything, but just nice footwork and balance. The body lean in that 2nd run looks a bit like Shonn Greene but in the open field he runs a bit like Melvin Gordon did.

(See 2nd run in next post)
