Absolutely! And just because he comes as an "all-purpose back" doesn't mean he can't do like RJ Jackson and be used as a slot receiver--or line up in the backfield in passing downs.

Granted, they haven't used RJ a whole lot, but I think some of that has to do with his rehab from knee injury.

Plus, you're still forgetting that special teams play a VERY important role and even though you think you might view going after a RB in this class, when '09 is loaded, as a waste of time, you still have to figure that you also need good special team guys....and at the very least, a 6-1, 190-200 lbs. player with 4.4-speed would make an excellent special team player early in his career.

We definitely need to sign this kid, because we didnt have a RB last year.
