Artis-Payne's long road

[Jon Snow]

He finds players that are not only talented but hungry as well. That to me is the key to building a strong team. Talent alone can't do it. Desire to be the best after they get paid is crucial.

I always like such story.

Brandon Wegher is the one to watch. I do not see Cameron Artis-Payne or Fozzy Whittaker beating Wegher out.

Averaged over 200 yards rushing per game and scored 39 touchdowns last season.

We huddlers always have unreal high expectation on UDFA.

If Stewart stumbles, even a little, or gets hurt, this man (he ain't no kid) may well take his job for good.

Lol

But durability isn't a part of his monsterness. So far CAP hasn't been injury prone. I'm not hoping for Stewart to stumble though, more like hoping for a return of 'Double Trouble'.

Fozzy will hopefully continue to be effective as a change of pace but don't think he's an every down back.

Stewart is not injury prone.

[Batman]

OP will throw an Auburn laced rage fit when this dude is inactive or getting >3 carries per week.

[B.BERSIN]

He's 25 now already, which is a little "old" for a rookie.

cool story

CAP is a beast.  Interesting to see how much of a factor he is right away

[DaveThePanther2008]

Very unlikely Wegher passes either Fozzy or CAP on the depth chart. Probably a practice squad player. Depends how many RBs we keep, as he could beat out Reaves, I just don't think we'll carry enough backs for him to make the 53.

.

I got to ask. Where do you conclude he wont bet these guys out? Fozzy is OK at best. CAP is a late round draft pick. Wegher dropped off the face of the earth because he beast his brother's ass. He is a perfect example of a good player getting lost in the system . At minimum he is equal to those guys and they'll have to bust there ass to be better. My bet. He beats one out for a roster spot.

Aside from the Funch. I'm the most excited for this guy.

[tiger7_88]

By the time his rookie deal is up he'd be nearly at the wall (30 years old) when rb production goes down hill

 

 

This is true, but I'm hoping that the two years that he was out of football means that his legs will be fresher at that point in his career, having two less  years of pounding, wear, and tear.

[Mr. Scot]

It's true that wear and tear is generally a bigger factor than age.

[Mol3m4n]

Stewart is not injury prone.

Oh.

So he's spent every offseason on a bike because he's NOT injury prone.

Thanks for clearing that up.

[rodeo]

Ah see but it's just one injury over and over, not multiple injuries, so he isn't prone to them!
