He wasn't that big but you could always count on him picking up a tough yard if you needed one. He wasn't insanely fast but I don't remember any corner ever running him down. He was great at blitz pickup. But I think my most lasting memories involve that Kubiak bootleg where the defense for some incomprehensible reason lost track of Arian and let him get 30 yards downfield, in the MIDDLE of the field, for a huge gain.
I remember the first time they ever ran that play. I somehow knew where all the receivers were and what they were doing. Schaub's rolling out and suddenly he launches one down the middle of the field. Who the hell is he throwing that to??? Then I see Arian, running completely unmolested, no one anywhere near him.
