Interesting signing. But at a 4.56 / 40 I doubt he clones Sproles.

"Strozier (5-feet-7, 180 pounds) was actually a standout cornerback for the Green Wave last year. But he spent time at both positions in college, and Saints coach Sean Payton said on Saturday that Strozier chose to try out as a running back.

“To his credit, I think he felt his chances were better with his size at that position than maybe playing defensive back,” Payton said. “I know he was their player of the year on defense and played a big role in their success. Very quickly you can see why. He is smart and he understands what we are doing, and it seems to come pretty quickly to him."

One thing I learned from drinking. You should always go Christmas caroling with a group. Oh, and always in mid-December.

They are a lot closer than you think in measurables.

My point was that he doesn't have near the skill at RB that Sproles has and still consistently runs a bit slower. But stranger things have happened I guess.

They are a LONG way apart as football players.
