Inspired Addai gaining on RB prospects (great read)

pakowitz · 04-12-2006, 03:09 AM

On most draft lists, LSU running back Joseph Addai is the fifth-, sixth- or seventh-rated back, far removed from the spotlight that Reggie Bush is receiving as the top player and probably top pick.

But that's OK for Addai, a low-key player who doesn't crave the spotlight. No matter where he's drafted, no matter how far down he goes -- and the first round is still possible -- he'll be fine with it.

"Things will work out," Addai said. "I'm just happy to be in this position. Whatever happens, it won't get me down."

How could it, when his legs will soon make him millions and his best friend from high school can't feel his?

I like Addai very much. He could be one of picks that makes a team better. The only knock on him is his injury issues. If he can overcome the injury bug, he should have a decent NFL career. The guy is about as good as it gets when he is running healthy.

He would be a nice 2nd rounder for us if he lasts that long.

I think he will be there, but I don't think they would pick him without a extra 2nd round pick.

If we have an extra second round pick I say take him....He easily replaces Stecker out of the backfield and in the run and his probably the best BLOCKING BACK in the draft...IMO...WIth Deuce, Bennet, Addai, and Smith for insurance we have the best offensive backfield in the NFC South hands down
