Torain is somewhat similar except he seems to burst a little better and pop runs quicker...leaving mroe chance to break a 20 yarder. I don't think Royster has shown enough that we need to worry about other teams getting him.
Hightower and Helu are obvi locks though. No way Helu doesn't make the roster at this point. It'd be pretty unfair to deny him a roster spot and not have given him a chance in the final game to show.

Clearly they were giving Royster a long look last night -- kinda tells me they hadn't made up their mind about him. Personally, I like him slightly better than Torain. That's about it. Torain has the edge as far as a big, short-yardage type back. He fits that mold better.
I'm with you on Helu; he has to make the roster.
