Spencer Ware just screams Shonn Greene to me. The quickness and power he runs with. MBIII is very similar to those other 2 though, so its real nitpicking on my part...lol
I'll throw out a few...
Travis Frederick = Carl Nicks
John Jenkis = Kris Jenkins
John Hankins = BJ Raji (hard to find a player with the versatility Hankins has, he plays EVERYWHERE, even as an edge rusher)

Watching GT-VT made me think of this one:
Logan Thomas is a taller, thicker Colin Kaepernick.

I think Giovani is way more athletic than Knowshon. Knowshon is a violent runner. Giovani might be most dangerous as a specialist. Don't think Knowshon would ever be mistaken for a punt returner.

Bernard reminds me mostly of DeAngelo Williams, Javon Ringer, and Shane Vereen.

I'd probably go with Sam Bradford for Geno Smith, not sure that Smith has Smith's mobility.
As for a comparison to Jahvid Best i'd opt for Kenyon Barner, who actually looks like he runs a little harder than Best did.

I'm going to say Tank Carradine and Chandler Jones
Neither guy necessarily wins with pure speed, however both have excellent hand usage and some nice moves. Both guys also play a little bit upright at times.
They also like to initiate contact in both the run and the pass game trusting their ability to disengage and make the play.
Carradine has moved around more than Jones did in college, however his game is very reminiscent of Jones the pro. He predominantly lines up on the right side, however he has lined up at left end at times and also dropped into coverage.

Robbie Rouse = Napoleon Kaufman
Edit: Also like a Quizz Rodgers comparison for Rouse.
