Actually you have a "hope" based on "hope". What are the odds on a 5th round running back emerging as a starting RB? Slim at best. Many of us are sort of in denial we did not go early for a RB like Mendenhall. It will be fun or hurtful to see how our DB vs Mendenhall turns out this year. Some have posted they do not think Cromartie will start this year which is possible as it does take some time to develop most DB's. Hightower on the other hand will be easy to judge rather quick as he can either run at this level or he cannot. Probably in training camp we will know just how good Hightower is or is not.
They arent that slim. Late round RB gems are found all the time in the NFL.
Some enterprising reporter has got to track down the origin of that nickname for Timmy. There has to be a story there someplace. I mean "Tug Boat" for Marcel Ship is obvious. The Bread Truck not so much.

If you watch his videos? One of the announcers says is running "like a run away bread truck".

Late round RB picks are often successful. Top picks often bust or are average at best.
You'll know by year two how good TH is. And no, you won't know right away...he'll have to adjust to the NFL speed as well.

Yup. The first year is an initiation. We got a good glimpse of Breaston last year. I expect to see more this year and next, hopefully. Really see more contributions.
