His low center of gravity lends itself to hiding patiently behind the offensive line until it's time to burst through daylight.

He's nice on the defensive side of the ball as well. Mr. Rhodes has shown flashes of being very versatile. Most impressive to me is how he runs through the back of your jersey number.
