ASHBURN, Va. -- The more Derrius Guice watched himself run, the more he saw similarities to a certain NFL running back. Once upon a time Guice was enamored with former running back Reggie Brooks. But the more Guice developed as a runner, the more he saw Marshawn Lynch.

The Washington Redskins would be happy if they found another Lynch. Guice wasn't alone in seeing the similarities. More people talking about it led to a relationship between Guice and Lynch, one that continues.
