With their first selection of the 2015 Rookie Draft, the FRENZY CHAMPION Royal Hawaiian Opihi select RB Duke Johnson from THE U! Sure, he's the #3 back in Cleveland (not exactly an NFL franchise that inspires fantasy confidence)... but the kid's got skills! He's quick, runs with power, has great acceleration, & good vision, plus a ton of football smarts... I think he'll have a decent shot this season, but more likely it'll be next season he emerges as "the man" in Brownsville. (Or maybe they'll trade him to Dallas!?!?)
Oh yah, and did I mention he's the all-time rushing yardage leader at Miami (surpassing Otis Anderson's record). And they've had a few "decent" backs from the U over the years: Edgerrin James, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, & Frank Gore... to name a few. Will he have an NFL career arch similar to theirs? Who knows. But as the last pick of the first round... I'll take the chance!
