So outstanding that Joe Gibbs' first order of business, when he took over as head coach, was to trade away Champ Bailey and a second round pick to get Portis. You're correct about the health issue though, because he is rather fragile for never having more than 90 carries in a season. Betts is a solid back, but he has nowhere close to Portis' talent.
