That's what I see when I watch his highlights. 

Very similar in size; DC may be a step faster (Emmitt was never known as a "speed" back, but he did have the burst he needed to go 50-60 yards for a TD in the NFL, so he was "fast enough").  To me, their mutual "signature" is their footwork; both have extremely quick feet, and they are able to stop/start, change direction and accelerate to pop through a hole.  DC is reputed to have good hands too, and that was something else that "E" was known for; few were better catching the ball out of the backfield.

We can only hope that DC emulates the career that Emmitt had at Florida.  But in terms of who Curtis reminds me of at this point, "E" is the guy.

I don't think he is an Emmit Smith type of back. He favors more of a Kevin Faulk type of back.  The former LSU Tiger who currently plays for the patriots.

IF you ask me, I'd say this kid looks like Fred Talley part 2.  Great speed but with much better hands.

Atleast you got the Faulk part right but I was thinking Marshall Faulk  Wu Tang  ;)
