Speed and power are what they need. Every now and then there's someone like Barry Sanders, but for the most part great rushing seasons are more a function of the o-line and ball control than the actual back.
Saskatchewan had a few seasons where whomever we put in the back field was gold, but that was because of the o-line and a QB that could control the ball and wear the defense down.

To paraphrase Charlie Brown in the Great QB hunt:
What did you get BC? We got a Reilly.
What did you get Edmonton? We got a Harris.
What did you get Calgary? We got a Mitchell.
What did you get Saskatchewan? We got a rock
