Quote:Todman averaged 27 yards on kick returns last year, put up 154 all purpose yards on 25 carries and 4 catches in his only NFL start and he knows the system. That's why he has value to the team.

 

He's upgradable for sure - but I don't know if a green rookie waiver claim is the way to do it. 

 

Todman can pass protect too.

 

Most people overlook a backs ability to pass protect but with the NFL going more towards passing attacks it is VERY important. 

 

Think of it like this, if a back is good at pass blocking and they line up with him against an obvious pass defense, then when the audible is made then it greatly favors said back to pick up easy yards.  Many above backs (below and above average running ability) pad their stats this way.
