So the guy can run quickly... so what?
He's not especially quick. He's a big, tall running back. He doesn't have a lot of long touchdowns because he gets caught from behind on long runs.
It's his patience that is groundbreaking. He sits behind the offensive line and bounces and stutters until a hole opens up, then he slashes through it. This goes against everything every running back has been taught their whole lives. You run "North and South" and don't waste any time. It's hard to find good GIFs that demonstrate this, because the way Lev Bell is successful is that he gets 7 yards a carry. Which is not splashy, but is wildly successful.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
