    They both are exciting to watch but Sproles does look faster.

    Sproles is faster but Leon is more explosive and has more big play capability.

    I like Sproles a lot but Leon is the better back, hands down.

    Leon's a better runner, and Sproles is a better receiver. Both are very good return men.


    I do think Leon has more big play capability, but it's splitting hairs..

    They are about even IMO. Leon averaged 6 yards per carry and Sproles 5.4

    I think both could be every down backs and be effective.

    Whats funny is that Reggie Bush isn't even on the same level as either player as a running back.

    Leon by far. Sproles is just fast. It was hillarious whenever he saw he was about to get tackled he would just fall down. lol

    I think it is Leon....the Chargers are just calling plays better and giving Sprolesmore space that Leon ususally got. I may sound biased but I think that around the league, people in the know wouldprobably pick Leon too.
