Thoughts on this speed RB would be much appreciated.

AEQ1: Break Tackle 15% + 13 speed

if you are going that heavy on the speed, your SA's and AE should all be geared towards a fake back and not Break Tackle Back

2 Fake pieces, heavy Juke, Head Fake and you could go ahead and keep spin I guess but a low strength guy will want to focus more on fakes

I agree. Although not 100% sure but BT is tied to strength and jumping. Strength is low but not bad. Jumping is nonexistant. So BT pieces won't help you as much as elusive pieces would, IMO. Not that they wouldn't help... you just won't get the value from them that you would with fake and spin and whatnot.

Excellent. This is the type of help I was looking for.

This guy is going to be a "Do One Thing, And Do It Well" back, so the advice makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Might swap those around for:

AEQ1: Fake 15% + 13 speed
AEQ2: Fake 15% + 13 speed
AEQ3: 6 Open Field Fake + 13 speed
AEQ4: 6 Spin + 13 speed

That would require fewer BTs, so I may be able to hit multi-training a few more times before transitioning to light training.

More Quick Cut if possible. The big thing is that most rushes aren't streaks. Have to be able to compensate for lower agility...

I'd leave the +15% Fake piece. If you're set on getting more bonus tokens though, use them on Juke instead. More versatile. To be honest, though, I'd probably go a different route than Spin. I know everyone loves it, but since you don't have a BT back, you're spreading your VAs too thin if you try to supplement it. I think you're better off focusing on one or the other but not both--esp. with a low agility.

And... those are LEFTOVER bonus tokens *after* maxing out AEQ? Wow.

No, those are the total BTs. I'm using them to purchase and max out the AEQs.

From what I've read, most people claim AGI of 90 is the sweet spot. I moved some things around and will be at 86.6 natural, and will be at 90.50 if I put 15 VPs into AGI. It's certainly not "high" AGI, but I think it would be solid, especially with the 169 speed and 4 AEQs.

I may swap AEQ3 from OFF to Juke, which would drop OFF back down to 4, put Juke up to 17, and keep Spin at 12.

AEQ1: Fake 15% + 13 speed
AEQ2: Fake 15% + 13 speed
AEQ3: 6 Juke + 13 speed
AEQ4: 6 Spin + 13 speed
