Running back is the position at which an incoming true freshman can make the largest immediate impact on a team. Blitz pick ups and screens/receiving tend to be the toughest part...

Agreed, but learning blitz pick-ups is kryptonite for most freshmen RBs. Some never learn. Want to know why we go with the sweep whenever Ford is in? Why Hilliard and McGee don't get as much PT as we would like?

And if they can't pick up a blitz, your QB gets killed. That's why we want any freshman RB to work their way into the rotation. Takes time to learn blitzes.
