    Day 3 Late Round RB Prospects...............

    Day 3 Sleeper RB Prospects

    Late round/free agent backs who could make it big in the NFL. Wes Bunting

    March 17, 2012 Share


    My top five late round/free agent running back prospects…

    5. Vick Ballard: Mississippi State (5-11, 220)
    Possesses some natural running skills and is a strong kid who always falls forward. However, isn't going to break nearly as many tackles in NFL as he did in college and will struggle averaging over 4.0 yards per carry. A reserve only.
    ICONBallard runs hard and gives you everything he's got.


    4. Davin Meggett: Maryland (5-9, 215)
    A shorter, thick back with a strong lower half, runs low and has the quickness/acceleration to pick his way through tight areas and explode toward daylight. Lacks a great feel, will slow his feet and not look real natural at times picking his way through traffic. However, when he sees a lane he can be dynamic and get up the field quickly

    3. Brandon Bolden: Mississippi (5-11, 221)
    A tough, productive SEC back who runs hard and can be effective when there are lanes to run through. Isn't going to create on his own in the NFL and isn't dynamic in any area of the game. Looks like a number three back at the next level.

    2. Michael Smith: Utah State (5-9, 205)
    He played behind a talented runner in Robert Turbin at Utah State this past year, but was extremely productive with limited touches, averaging over 7.0 yards per carry. He's a powerfully built kid who runs low to the ground, displays good short areas quickness and has a burst when asked to get up the field. He looks explosive pressing space and accelerating toward daylight, could be a nice late round value.

    1. Bryce Brown: Kansas State (6-0, 220)
    Watching him run in Lane Kiffin's zone scheme as a freshman, the guy was an impressive back with a lot of natural talent. He was the number one ranked recruit out of high school, ahead of Trent Richardson in 2009 and no doubt has the skill set to play in the league. The biggest question mark for him going forward is his overall character.

    Bolden is a favorite of mine. There's a reason I put him in my mock.

    The question is can he play ST because any 3rd string RB has to do that on this team.

    Do the Bears really need to draft a RB or can Harvey Unga/Armando Allen be our 3rd string RB?

    Harvey Unga has apparently left the team for good and no longer has a locker at Halas Hall.
    Bears tender RB Kahlil Bell | Chicago Bears Huddle


    And Allen has done jack squat to make me sure of his abilities. Much like how some people (Bill Walsh) say you should draft a QB every year, I think the same about HBs. In round 6 and 7, all you are still lucky to get a 53-man athlete, might as well protect the depth of an important skill position where late-udfa players come in every year and impress.

    Sox makes a good point lb. It seems like Unga is no longer in their plans and Allen is a scat back somewhat like Garrett Wolfe. I've read that they may bring back Robert Hughes that big back we had in camp last years but for a team that depends on it's running game you never overlook an opportunity to improve. Arian Foster was an UDFA so there's talent in those late rounds and beyond. You find good ST guys like Adrian Peterson there as well.
