Quote:Grants performance pretty much sums up what we already knew about him. Goes 0-60 instantly, can't block or run through contact.

 

The unfounded idea that he was close to ousting Shoelace for the # 3 spot was put to rest, at least for now.  Grant is not remotely close to being a complete RB.  I shudder to think of him carrying the load in the event of injuries to those ahead of him. Wiggle and vision like Yeldon, no.  Power and purpose like Ivory, no.  Grit and toughness like DRob, no. 1 spot just for kickoff return is hella pricey to me.  I can't see him gracing the field much otherwise.  Need occasional speed to go over the top? Albino, if in the premises, much obliges.  Need a quicker change of pace guy on the ground that'll get you consistent positive yardage? D Rob suffices.

 

It's not like he's dreadful, I just don't see a complimentary trait to the speed that one can hang their hat on.  Thus far...
