Although slightly built, he impressed team observers in minicamp, running smooth, precise routes and catching the ball effortlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky Jet Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 AFC rankings: running backs E-MAIL PRINT COMMENTS 5 WATCH THIS TOPIC Posted: June 14, 2008 Sporting News correspondents More: NFC running back rankings In the latest installment of NFL offseason position rankings, SN's correspondents break down the running backs in the AFC. 1. JAGUARS: Defenses never get a break against Jacksonville. With his explosive inside running and sure hands, Maurice Jones-Drew complements Fred Taylor's cutback style. Greg Jones is a versatile lead blocker. 2. CHARGERS: LaDainian Tomlinson isn't showing any slippage, but depth is an issue. Michael Turner is gone, so Darren Sproles will get a larger role and rookie Jacob Hester will fill in at running back and fullback. 3. STEELERS: First-round pick Rashard Mendenhall will pound out tough yards inside and complement two-time Pro Bowler Willie Parker. Mewelde Moore should get plenty of pass-catching opportunities. 4. COLTS: Versatile Joseph Addai will get ample help from Dominic Rhodes, who's back after a year in Oakland. Depth will come from Kenton Keith or rookie Mike Hart. 5. CHIEFS: New coordinator Chan Gailey's offense will be built around Larry Johnson, who needs better blocking to bounce back strong. Rookie Jamaal Charles provides what Johnson doesn't -- a legitimate breakaway threat. 6. RAVENS: Willis McGahee is an outside runner who has the power to work inside. He has improved as a pass catcher. With no proven backup, the team will look at rookie Ray Rice, who runs with a low center of gravity. Top 5 AFC Running Backs 1. LaDainian Tomlinson, Chargers 2. Joseph Addai, Colts 3. Larry Johnson, Chiefs 4. Fred Taylor, Jaguars 5. Willie Parker, Steelers 7. RAIDERS: Justin Fargas heads an impressive stable that includes rookie Darren McFadden and short-yardage ace Michael Bush. Look for the hard-nosed Fargas and speedy McFadden to provide a nice combo. 8. BILLS: Marshawn Lynch is a between-the-tackles workhorse with outside speed . Fred Jackson provides a change of pace with his slashing quickness. Both will get help from fullback Darian Barnes, a pile-driving blocker. 9. BROWNS: Jamal Lewis re-established himself as a top power back in 2008, but how much does he have left? No. 2 Jason Wright will be pushed by Jerome Harrison. Lawrence Vickers has grown into the fullback job. 10. PATRIOTS: Laurence Maroney appears on the verge of becoming a legit No. 1 . He is backed up by solid veteran Sammy Morris, with jack-of-all-trades Kevin Faulk available on third down. Heath Evans is a solid fullback. 11. JETS: Thomas Jones is a solid runner who needs better blocking. No. 2 Leon Washington is explosive but fragile, which explains the signing of Jesse Chatman. Fullback Tony Richardson still is a Pro Bowl-caliber blocker. 12. TITANS: The 1,110 yards LenDale White rushed for last season were a welcome contribution for a team that has questions behind him: Chris Henry, who had limited success last year, and versatile rookie Chris Johnson. 13. DOLPHINS: The 1-2 punch of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams comes with issues: Williams has played just 13 games in three years; Brown is coming off a torn ACL. Before the injury, Brown was playing at a Pro Bowl level. 14. BRONCOS: With the release of Travis Henry, look for Selvin Young and newcomer Michael Pittman to share duties. Rookie Ryan Torain, who is physical and suited for the one-cut zone-blocking scheme, is a dark horse. 15. BENGALS: Rudi Johnson has to prove himself after a poor 2007. He has looked strong in offseason workouts. Versatile Kenny Watson is the top backup, and DeDe Dorsey is primed to steal the No. 3 role from Chris Perry. 16. TEXANS: Ahman Green, Chris Brown and Chris Taylor all have injury-plagued pasts. Rookie Steve Slaton is slated for third-down duty. The only sure thing is bruising fullback Vonta Leach.

Sperm Edwards Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 They also need to shore up the D-line, and hope that draft pick Vernon Gholston in the first round will do that. The Jets are going back to a 4-3? Hey, how come nobody told me? 11. JETS: Thomas Jones is a solid runner who needs better blocking. No. 2 Leon Washington is explosive but fragile, which explains the signing of Jesse Chatman. Fullback Tony Richardson still is a Pro Bowl-caliber blocker.Leon Washington is fragile? Not only that, but that's the reason the Jets signed Jesse Chatman? How do these guys get paid to write this stuff? It's not like there are 300 teams and it's impossible to keep track of any one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"concerens with the defensive line" then he brings up gholston. How hard is it to know that a 6th overall choice was brought to a specific team in order to play linebacker, not DE? Like you said, how the hell do these guys get paid for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy from the Sporting News probably gets paid, but I'll bet that Matt from "gridirongab.com" is a just another idiot spouting off on a website. Like us.
