He may not run a 4.2, but 4.2 guys go down at the first hint of contact, Alfred seems to always get something out of nothing.

Whenever I watch Morris highlights, I always count how many yards he gets after first contact by a defender. It's almost always at least five yards and often 8-10. His speed might not be elite, but it was enough to get him several 30-40 yard TD runs. He's my favorite Skin right now.
