Derrius Guice is Ezekiel Elliott on beast mode. Rarely goes down on first contact. Always fighting for yards.

Sources Tell Us: Buzz building again for LSU RB Derrius Guice
The scoop: LSU's Derrius Guice had become the forgotten man at running back in the first half of the season when so much attention was focused on the outstanding play of Penn State's Saquon Barkley. However, Barkley cooled off just as Guice started to heat up over the past few weeks. Scouts haven't cooled on Guice's NFL potential at all despite his quiet first half of the season, and one scout believes Guice is about to "get 'em talking again" with his next two games (at Tennessee, vs. Texas A&M).
The skinny: I struggled this summer when deciding which running back to rank No. 1 at the position between Barkley and Guice. Both players have great size and are exceptionally talented, so I went back and forth until ultimately settling on Guice. There's no doubt the pendulum swung in the other direction with Barkley's impressive start, but Guice is doing a good job of reminding us about what he can do.
It appears that Penn State head coach James Franklin is limiting the wear and tear on Barkley down the stretch (averaging 16 touches in the past two games), but Barkley's production has been very poor by the star RB's standards in the past 3 weeks (averaging 2.9 yards per carry).
Guice, on the other hand, appears to be healthy again after dealing with a nagging left leg injury earlier in the season. He hung 276 rushing yards on Ole Miss, 147 on Arkansas and is expected to load up the stat sheet against both Tennessee and Texas A&M.
The Barkley vs. Guice debate could be more interesting than some might expect if both decide to enter the draft after the season.

A lot of scouts and RB coaches that I follow believe Guice is a more natural runner than Barkley. There's a lot of Zeke to his game. TBH, I liked Guice more than I did Barkley coming into this year and still do.

Finished up LSU RB Derrius Guice--I'm sticking with my young Frank Gore comp. Runs low to the ground, power, lateral quickness etc...really good football player.

Originally posted by Heroism:Guice is a monster. The only reason he's not getting as hyped as Barkley is that he's been dealing with a nagging injury all season, but he's every bit the beast that Barkley is. I like that, unlike Barkley, Guice will run through somebody's face.
Daniel Jeremiah is adamant that he sees a young Frank Gore in Guice.

If Guice is the next Frank Gore, he's still not half the prospect Barkley is. He's very tough to bring down, but Fournette was a better player than Guice (by far). Guice had a better Y/C average last year because Fournette got the vast majority of the work against the tough teams on LSU's schedule while Guice got a lot of carries late in games and against the cupcakes on their schedule. Barkley may be a better prospect than Fournette because of his receiving ability.
As a runner, they're close - Guice will break more tackles, but Barkley has breakaway speed.
