How about an UDFA scat back?

The ideal RB, like a player at any position, is one who excels at all aspects of the game, or is so outstanding at a few, that their deficiencies don't matter a lot. These players are also know as Round #1 draft picks.

But when you go later into the draft, or look at an UDFA, this isn't what you find. You typically find players who just aren't any good, or who may excel in one area, but have major holes in their game. The first type you don't bring into camp. But the later you may, because they can become role players.

So if you're looking for someone who can't do some stuff, they have to be very good at the stuff they CAN do! When you look at tape of them, there has to be Special in some aspect of their game.

Russell Hansbrough out of Missouri wasn't invited to the Combine. And I assume there are good reasons why, though I don't know enough about the player to know what they are. But watching highlights of this kid, Special jumps off the screen. His change of direction skill, speed and vision are exceptional. And though likely small, he looks to have a solid build.

If the Giant's brain trust can find a way to use this kind of talent in some role, I could see some exciting homerun potential. And if he's an UDFA, I don't know how he wouldn't be a good camp invite.
