Dodge will both make him a bettar ballcarrier & at the same time reduce the number of AV-rolls he will make. You don't want a star like him niggled or killed.

On normal rolls I'd go with Guard and next Sure Hands, mostly to avoid the Strip Ball guys. It's not easy taking the ball from a MA7 ST5 Blodge Sure Hands player...

I'm doing this kind of trick with my lizards - have a look at the Dinosaur Dorkheads linked below.

I would not primarly use him as a ball carrier, but as a fast blocker/ linebreaker.
Humans need to get more strength in there ranks.

-Double
If you get him dodge he will be able to move around even more AND stand up longer!
Frenzy, good skill but you don't need it!
Stand firm, useful, but not worth it.
So on a double I think it is not a hard choice: dodge!

-Normal-
Guard I think is a must for humans, this guy will be a pain.

Piling on is too much a gamble with such a great player I think, but still nasty... Needs much back up from his team to not get fouled.

Mighty blow should be picked sooner or later.

Multiply block is very interesting, make sure you have a few players with guard before you pick this skill. You can open up very big holes this way!

Tackle is good, but I wouldn't waste a roll on it.

I think this guy should open huge gaps with Multiple Block. Give guard to all your other blitzers and screw every cage you see !

He's a machine ! He needs Mighty Blow next though !

Humans don't really need a lot of help scoring, with the movement and the catchers you should be fine in that area. So you'll want to take a skill that helps you out on defence.

I'd suggest that you go for guard as your next skill, and then possibly tackle or maybe even Shadowing. After all, you do have an extremely high movement for a 5 strength player.
