I have to go with Royster as my favorite back, at least right now. The guy has decent speed and can plow people over, let alone has GREAT cuts.

Helu is nice as well, very similar, but for some reason I feel he runs out of steam much much faster than Royster does, and he can't take the hits nearly as well (not saying he goes down easy because he doesn't).

Hightower I'm really not so sure he fits in the system. He looked great in preseason last year, but during regular season the production wasn't that great IMO.

Coming into the season I have to think the lineup would be Royster, Helu and Hightower, but I wouldn't leave the 6th round pick, Alfred Morris, from FAU to steal a spot in training camp or later in the season. He reminds me A LOT of Walter Payton and when I interviewed him last night, he compared himself to him a lot.

Either way, I think we're good at the RB position.
