In the NFL? Of course he went down easily -- he was essentially trying to run on one knee. But in college, he was a pure stud. Always made the first guy miss (or flat-out trucked them). Generally took 2-4 guys to bring him down. Didn't have the elusiveness of Sanders/Dickerson/Payton, but was a more powerful runner and had that 2nd gear in space. Good receiver out of the backfield, too. Basically Emmet Smith. My favorite thing about Ki-Jana is that he always fell forward when tackled, picked up an extra 1-2 yds on nearly every play. Loved the pick at the time, was gutted when he got hurt.
