I'm sure Helu would've started in 2012 if it hadn't been for two things: his injury, and Morris taking advantage of his opportunity like he did. Helu is a solid 3rd-down back and excellent depth and, like I said earlier, will take on a bigger, more valuable role this year.

Wouldn't the top RB he backed up last year be a rookie taken late in the draft. Its sorta contradicts your point.
