While agree that he's not really special in any one area, I would acknowledge that he has good vision. I'm not a big fan of him, he's not the hard runner everyone makes him out to be, but he can get into space and make a few plays. He finds holes and gets through them. However, I agree, Duckett compliments Portis much better and is a far better back.
