The only thing that was crowded was the IR list (5 running backs on IR). So, the extremely logical move for the Saints at that point, to prevent it from happening again, was to sign a big, bruising, forward-falling SEC type power running back. Sure, lots of guys win the Heisman and go on to be busts in the pros, but not too many guys win the Heisman and a national championship in the same year -- the last one to do that was Tony Dorsett, so the kid is in pretty good company.

True. At that time we had Reggie, who we weren't going to keep
Julius Jones
DeShawn Wynn
Joique Bell

PT and Ivory were out with serious injuries. Ivory's LizFranc is often a career ender.

Where do people get this "we were loaded at RB" crap from?
