I think he was drafted in the third round, not sure. His rep was that he was a very tough runner with decent vision. Not a lot of breakaway speed and average hands. I think he also had an injury while in Detroit. Looks like returning kicks has helped his vision and I'm liking his running style. More like T. Davis than B. Sanders.


A few weeks ago some talking head (I don't remember who, someone on the OrangeMane posted the comment and I didn't see the broadcast) said that Denver's running game looked a lot like a Special Teams play. The O-Line was like the wedge and the RB was like the return guy. The RB is supposed to follow the flow of the zone blocking scheme and exploit the play. It made sense the way it was explained. Droughns showed a lot during his return duties and several fans on the Mane were hoping he would get a shot. He's looking like the key to our offense right now.
