Tevin Coleman reminds me a lot of Curtis Martin when he came out of Pitt two decades ago.
Top 50 talent. Pretty good/good starter in the league.

I was trying to think of a comparison back for Coleman and couldn't, but Martin is real close. I'd really enjoy seeing him in Miami.
From the one game I watched, maybe it was the red jersey, but screamed Demarco Murray to me.
I saw that a little too. But he doesn't have the same power.
He's runs a bit upright (which isn't as big a deal to me) like Demarco and he's got that deceptive burst around the edge. I think Murray has added a little bit more power to his game in the pros, but Tevin is a little lighter and as a result isn't quite as powerful. He's a pretty strong runner tho.
I've made the comparison to Dickerson ever since I saw this kid play in the big 10 championship in 2012.When Murray was coming out, I had him as a part-time back, because I didn't think he could hold up as a feature back. Injuries have been an issue for Murray, but he's definitely added some muscle.
When talking about Gordon's running style, I usually think of a bigger J. Charles, but the way he glides and eats up space when it looks like he's barely moving reminds me of Eric Dickerson. If Miami is drafting in the late-teens, early-20s, and Gordon is still on the board, Miami would be hard pressed to find a better option.

Tevin Coleman will be a pretty good starter. I just ranked him #29 on my big board.
Darren McFadden is another decent comp.
2006 Arkansas McFadden. Not 2014 Raiders McFadden.
