LeGarrette Blount, RB Ourlads' All-Rookie Team 2010

LeGarrette Blount signed as a free agent with the
Tennessee Titans & was placed on the practice squad.
He was claimed by Tampa Bay and rushed for over 1000
yards in his rookie year. What Ourlads'Guide to the
NFL Draft said about Blount:

Blount, LeGarrette Oregon 6004 241 4.72
Had zero starts for the Ducks. Physical running back that plays
in a spread offense. Strong runner that has good speed and is not
easy to bring down. More of an upright runner that can get
downhill with good vision and running instincts. Determined
straight ahead runner. A goal-line type back that can muscle his
way into the end zone. Gains yards after initial contact. Gives
effort and finishes his runs with power. An aggressive back that
doesn’t shy away from contact. Flashes some shiftiness in the
open field. Athletic enough to hurdle low cutting defensive backs.
Had 17 touchdowns in 2008, alternating with Jeremiah Johnson.
A junior college transfer, he was suspended in February 2009 for
missing conditioning workouts and academic class work. Was
suspended from 9/4/09 to late November after fight in Boise
State game. A high maintenance back with talent. OSR:19/28.
