Riggins had wheels. Like someone else said, he was a 2-time 100M sprint champ in Kansas. There are some good videos on Youtube of him just blowing by defenders and, of course, one of the most memorable runs in Super Bowl history is him busting a tackle and taking it 40 plus yards to the house. He was da man.
