Clarett is a great back, and I hope all of your stand by this if he breaks out and has a huge career.

I'm not saying he's a not talented guy, he definitely is.

Does he fill a pressing need here though?? Not as long as Portis is here.

I can't see us spending a mid round pick on a backup RB. Somebody will take a chance on him though and they could have a gem on their hands.

I think Gibbs comment was based more on whether or not he was in favor of underclassmen and not specifically on Clarett.

wonder if he was hinting at Mike Williams possibly?
