Kenneth Gainwell has one of the smallest statures on the team at 5-9, 201 pounds. Pittsburgh Steelers legend Franco Harris was the prototypical big back for his time, standing at 6-2, 230 pounds. Yet one analyst saw a bit of Harris in Gainwell’s 134 total yards against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
“He looked like Franco Harris against the Vikings in Super Bowl IX,” Florio said Monday via Pro Football Talk on YouTube “It was like there was never a negative play. Anytime they gave him the ball, he made something happen. Kind of an afterthought in that running game, and he was the difference maker yesterday.
