TB tailbacks performed great behind this new FB Lorig. The back who can start turning some runs into 30+ yd runs will be the one. My guess-Robinson, but Ingram has the most talent and Thomas the most heart is well see.

Having watched all 3 last season and looking at their ProDay/Combine numbers other than height, wt, and 40yd (things that do not really define a RB), they are not all that alike.

Robinson: Has shown better vision and is more elusive, I wouldn't call him reckless.. more runs angry.
5'10"
206 lbs
4.76 40yd
1.54 10yd
6.88 3 Cone

Thomas: Longer Stride, great vision but doesn't cut as well, and powers through the end of his run. Best screen back.
5'11"
209
4.65 40yd
1.57 10yd
7.12 3 cone

Mark Ingram: Better acceleration after the line of scrimmage but has yet to show the vision or patience that the other two have, which is what gets a RB consistently passed the LoS.
5'9"
215
4.53 40yd
1.54 10yd
7.13 3cone

2013 YPC
Ingram -4.9*
Robinson - 4.1
Thomas - 3.7

I think it is important to note that with out the Dallas game, Ingram's number is drastically different and tied to 1 game more so than the other two RBs.

Dallas stats removed:
Ingram 3.7 YPC.
Thomas 3.5 YPC
Robinson didn't play against Dallas.
