By just basing it on speed & acceleration?
It was a different game back then. Backs were not yet penalized for overuse.
As a converted QB his generic retirement age is a bit later than a true running back.
Still, James Young in his prime was almost 100's in every important running skills. Speed , acceleration , ball carry, and break tackle. The OP back was very good in those categories also.
If you just run and do not care about fumbles than yes just those four. For my weights running backs are 80 to 100 for speed and acceleration and like zero to 25 for all others ratings.
Not that they are unimportant , but low speed and acceleration will is guaranteed to get low yards per carry. No matter the other ratings.
