Wonder why a guy that is near 6' and 200 lbs is usually deemed as "light, yet you can have a 5'9" RB at 190lbs and it's no big deal? I am sure Charles will put on a few few pounds as he matures physically.
Charles is a little bit smaller version of Dickerson and Allen while very close to Payton, yet he has better speed than all of them.
Chris Johnson of the Titans is an exact replica of Charles from a physical standpoint...Speed included. He was actually "used" properly in his first year and I think he will become a 20-25 carry per game back as well.
Eric Dickerson: 6'3" 220lbs
Marcus Allen: 6'2" 210 lbs
Walter Payton 5'10" 202 lbs
Chris Johnson 5'11" 200 lbs: 4.2 speed and Runner-up Rookie of the year.
Jamaal Charles 5'11" 200lbs: 4.2 40yd dash
