His breakaway speed is only the beginning, he's got tremendous vision, agility, AND power. Plus he can catch, throw, and block. It's not anyone one characteristic that sets LT apart, it is the entire package.
I agree that LT as ridiculous speed and agility, but when it comes to power I disagree. The guy just doesn't push piles or or flatten defenders. He relies on speedy and agility (and vision to some degree, but he doesn't come close to guys like Barry Sanders with unpredictable cuts). LT doesn't do everything well, but his style works great for him. Same can be said of about everyone.
