From the article

the 5-foot-8 and 208-pound tailback has the skillset and production to become the type of chess piece running back Thurman Thomas was in the famed Buffalo Bills K-Gun offense in the late 1980s/1990s. The 5-foot-10 and 200-pound Oklahoma State product and hall of famer was equal parts dazzling and punishing runner and receiver. Both Jeanty and Thomas have the elite contact balance and low center of gravity that makes them difficult to tackle and the processing and vision to exploit openings.

Jeanty's Thurman Thomas-like skill set makes him a chess-piece weapon in Kubiak's run-first offense.

Jeanty is positioned as an all-around chess-piece weapon in Kubiak's offense with elite contact balance, low center of gravity, and processing/vision comparable to Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas; the 5-foot-8, 208-pound tailback has the skillset to exploit openings as both a punishing runner and receiver in an old-school run-game-first philosophy where the running back is mission-critical to the offense's success.
