Cause Lord Knows We Need One!

RBs Not named Wells or Moreno!

Donald Brown (5 ft 10in 210 lbs) Projected Round (Late 1st-Early 2nd)

Perhaps the fastest rising RB in the draft, Brown wowed scouts at the combine and pro day with his all around skill set. This guy can do it all and showed that by rushing for over 2,000 yards in the 2008 season. He has been called this year's Matt Forte for his completeness as a back. His best atributes are said to be his vision and his stop-start ability. He is a high effort. high character guy.

LeSean McCoy (5 ft 10in 198 lbs) Projected Round (Early to mid 2nd)

Not the kind of size and strength you want at the running back position but his production was among the best. He did not perform at the combine due to illness and this only hurt his stock even more, but what the kid does have is great moves and speed for the position. He knows how to make people miss, but he also does a lot of missing himself in pass protection.

Shonn Greene (5 ft 11 in 227 lbs) Projected Round (2nd)

With only one year as a starter under his belt Greene rushed for over 1,800 yards and was the 2008 Doak Walker award winner for the nation's best RB. He had 13 consecutive 100 yard rushing performances in the 2008 season. However, he does turn 24 in August and only has one year of starting experience for scouts to evaluate him.

Rashad Jennings (6 ft 1 in 231 lbs.) Projected Round (Late 2nd-Early 3rd)

Character stands out the most to me with this kid. He was originally a Pitt U player but needed to switch schools in order to move closer to his father who has health issues. I like people who have their priorities straight. He is another bruiser with the agility and vision to back it up. His imposing size makes him a great candidate at RB in thr NFL.


Javon Ringer (5 ft 9 205 lbs.) Projected Round (4th-5th)

You certainly can't question his production and heart while at Michigan State, but what is it that makes scouts not like Javon Ringer? Is it the high mileage he already has on those tires? His speed? Size? I don't know for sure but he does have a big heart and finds a way to produce while he's on the field.

Gartrell Johnson (5 ft 10 219 lbs.) Projected Round (6th-7th)

This guy has the build you look for in a RB. He plays with a low pad level and is fearless taking on on coming tacklers. He displays great vision and hits the hole with authority. His agility is exceptional for his size and his effort in pass blocking is among the top RBs. Speed is the main concern with this bruiser.

Frank Summers (5 ft 10 in 230+ lbs.) Projected Round (7th-FA)

Not too many know about Summers but this guy exemplifies toughness and strength at the RB position. He put up 30 reps at 225 lbs at his pro day. He is an absolute load to tackle and rarely fumbles or drops passes. Is he the fastest guy? Definitely not (4.7 40), but you do know what you're getting if you draft this guy. Smarts, toughness, strength, size and consistency.
