2.12 RB Cedric Humes, Pittsburgh

Preds · May 10th, 2006, 04:53 PM

He had solid #'s at Virginia Tech, and who knows, might get some playing time if Haynes or Staley falter.

I did like this one scouting report I read:

Strengths:
Has excellent size...A powerful and bruising runner...Good athletic ability...Hits the hole fast and with authority...Breaks a lot of tackles and is a load to try and bring down...Good short yardage and goaline runner...Solid blocker...Decent receiver out of the backfield...Versatile...Hard worker & team player with good intangibles.

Weaknesses:
Was never the full-time workhorse in college and didn't show whether or not he can carry the load...Does not have great speed...Doesn't change directions all that well and is basically a north / south runner...Is not a big play threat...Might have some minor durability concerns...A bit of a 'tweener without a true position.

Notes:
Could potentially move to fullback at the next level...Ran for 752 yards (4.6 avg.) and 11 touchdowns as a senior for the Hokies...Might be a sleeper who could develop once given the opportunity to be the main ball carrier for a pro team.

Looks like a typical Steelers bruiser to me.

He may never be an every-down back... but then again, this is Pittsburgh we're talking about, right?! Could very well be the heir apparent to THE BUS. And Mike's TS RB collection continues!

Long-live Drugrunner. BTW, where is he this year? Haven't seen him on the messageboards!

Crap. This was my hope for pick 3.01. Oh, well life goes on.
