A man who since he has started on October 29th has rushed for more yards than anyone but L.T.
Has good burst, great cut back ability, good vision and really takes advantage of the Packers zone blocking scheme.
He usually has some big runs that accumulate for most of his yards though, but that's never a bad thing.

His cut-back ability is incredible. Once he's past the line he's looking for a lane. Not many wasted steps, ever. He gets the ball and goes. No dancing. Perfect back for the ZBS.

Well Packers acquired him from the New York Giants for I believe a 6th round draft pick.

Everyone is going to know who he is now and for all the wrong reasons.

True, but two fumbles in the first minute of your first playoff game is pretty memorable.

Hmm..92 yards, 2 TD's in the first half.
I'd say that's pretty decent

No one is going to care about that when your team turns it around and pounds the sh*t out of the opponent.

200 yards rushing and 3 touch downs later and Ryan Grant is a beast

It's a shame those fumbles have to taint an otherwise perfect day.

Those two fumbles, at the very beginning of a day that was flawless after that, aren't going to taint anything. First playoff game jitters that very quickly went away and then Grant ripped that supposed good defense to shreds.

those 2 fumbles dont mean anything anymore. not with 3 tds and 200 yards rushing. if anything the way he bounced back from those 2 fumbles and played like a monster says alot about him. he could have folded and hung his head, but he kept his chin up and kept doing his thing. at the end of the day he torched the seahawks.

I'm not saying it's going to taint it for fans, but if you ever played a sport you know that he's pissed as hell about those fumbles. Just like Tom Brady is pissed about his 2 incompletions even though he had like 25 completions.
