Those ball hype rankings actually go on for 7 pages, so being #27 out of 205 that they have listed is not bad at all. Especially with a nice growth spurt we seem to be experiencing. Always good

Congrats to Rex as well, 40 lbs is a hell of a lot of weight to lose, won’t be able to call him the big man soon lol

Do we expect him to come back from the surgery? Yeah. And you’re going to put him in there instead of Shonn Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson? Maybe you would, but I’m not comfortable with that," he said. "Let’s see where he’s at. I’m not just going to give him the ball 20 times a game coming off of that. He has to be ready to take that kind of role. If he’s ready to take an expanded role, then obviously we can see that. Third down is the most important down you have on offense and that would be an ideal situation for him. We have three great backs."

Good to see the whole quote in context, as I had a sneaking suspicion we weren’t getting the whole thing.
