The third-year running back out of Cal has moved effortlessly into the role of third-down back/joker, and continues to not only flash an ability to run the ball when needed, but also show versatility as a pass catcher. Friday night against the Bucs, he played well after most of the rest of the starters were removed, and ended up with eight touches (four carries for 29 yards, four receptions for 46 yards) and 75 yards from scrimmage. In all, he’s touched the ball 13 times in two preseason games and come away with 105 yards from scrimmage – a whopping average of eight yards per attempt.
Really excited by how smooth Shane Vereen has looked. Danny Woodwhat?
