I don't think we're going to ever see the Portis from Denver again. He's transformed himself into a stronger and better all around back in my opinion. Hard to argue with last year's results too. 1516 yards, 11 touchdowns, 30 catches.

Well those numbers don't bare that out, his numbers are down since he left Denver.
It's true both those players run hard for thier size, but they are not bulky backs, and Dunn runs in the same system Portis did in Denver, both use thier speed and quickness for success, not power, if you slowed either one down thier effectivness would greatly diminish.
