I think Conner is more traditional in that he wants to get north-south as fast as possible, but I think he is far from being a guy with breakaway speed. He will get caught from behind, but its just that when he gets into the secondary there are not a lot of corners that want any part of tackling him.

Its why a good offensive line is so much more important in the run game than most think. Conner can get to the 2nd level by O line blocking up front, then he can get another 10-20 yards because one missed arm tackle gets him into the secondary.
