I don't think he's much like ARob. ARob had some wiggle in his game. Granted not much, but a little. And he's a bit faster than Standard, I think. After all, ARob set a Minn. high school record in the 200 meters, something a lot of people forget when discussing him. I know there's not much call for 200 meter runs in football, but it does show he has good raw speed.
When I compared Standard to Rutland, it was a compliment. I thought Rutland had a chance to be a really good back for us and rush for 1,000 or more in a season until he got hurt. Rutland had deceptive speed (Standard in spades) and wasn't one to make many moves. He was a one-cut-and-go type (which I think also describes Standard) and then he just ran as fast as he could.
ARob used a burst to get through the hole and made more moves while running than Rutland or Standard. Subtle moves, but moves just the same. I'd describe ARob as a scatback. I don't think Standard is a scatback. The best term I can think of to describe him is a slasher, which was what Rutland was.
Rutland ran more upright than Standard, so that's where the comparison ends. Standard runs lower to the ground, has a lower center of gravity and runs behind his pads better than Rutland did.
Of course, that's just my opinion and someone who actually knows what they're talking about might not agree with me.
