Good question, it would be a good battle in camp. Helu might have the early leg up over a rookie though.

Hightower starts, Royster backs him up (possibly ultimately starting)

Helu is the change of pace playmaker/RB to be Named backs up Helu

Royster ultimately emerges as the starter? You're kidding, right? Royster is a plodder. If you want three yards and a cloud of dust, then go with Royster because there will be no breakaway runs. Just say no to Royster. We need a better starter than that.

Among the current backs on the roster, and I'm including Hightower, no I'm not kidding. Have said it since last summer, the Shanahans love...LOVE Royster.

I like Royster. You are correct that he is not a breakaway back in any sense. But he and Helu together give us a nice smash and dash.

He averaged almost 6 per carry last year, just saying

jeez i hope not. Dont get me wrong I love Hightower but if we get a James or Turbin, I would hope we wouldnt bring back Hightower. Im gonna say depth chart at RB:

1. Royster
2. Helu
3. Turbin/James

Yeah forgot about Hightower, I know Shanny loves him. As long as his knee is right of course.
