I'm optimistic this Baylor UDFA RB can be the real deal, and I'd like to see these type of young guys get the reps instead of picking up vets like Freeman last season.

Well, we've gotten spoiled to hitting gold among the UDRFAs, so I've tempered my expectations...

My hope is Abram Smith can supplant Dwayne Washington (poor RB), as Smith was also an exceptional LBer, he's had great preparation for special teams...

Now, Smith gives us some solid rushing when other RBs are down, allowing the offense to stay balanced, great; if he's an exceptional RB, that's lagniappe...
