I recall reading, maybe in a recap of a Shaw interview, that Wilkerson had a hamstring issue. I like Wilkerson's size and speed, though I was a bit disappointed by his performance last season. It seemed like a lot of very short runs, with a couple of longer runs that make his average look a lot better. But I also think the rotation of RBs last year might have contributed to that. It must be hard to get into any kind of rhythm if you are only getting a few snaps each game. And, in a classic Catch-22, if you aren't really flashing brilliance in those few attempts, you are not likely to earn a lot more when you have backs like Taylor and Gaffney in front of you.
Young Money, like you I'm really looking forward to seeing Young on the field. I know Youtube videos are not the best way to evaluate a player, but often they are all we have, and I recall thinking Young was a real slasher, the kind of back who sees a hole, makes one sharp cut, and is gone. Provided he has the vision to see the hole, I love that kind of runner: not too much dancing around, nice combination of speed and power. Actually, a bit like Stephan Taylor.
