"Injuries are huge concern -- he had shoulder problems in 1999 and a broken fibula late last year. But he rushed for 1,596 yards, averaged 8.1 yards a carry and scored 24 touchdowns last season. Not quick but an excellent receiver. Some teams dropped him from their draft boards because of his broken leg, others love him as a third-down back. "He's a special guy," said a running backs coach for an NFC team. "When you’re talking about pure hands, he has the purest of any running back in the draft, and he’s a better runner than he’s given credit for. The question is -- he wasn’t able to stay healthy in a 13-game schedule, well, in our league we play two college seasons."
