You think Cadet, if he makes it, would sniff 70 carries?

Sproles was a much better runner than him and only had 87(2011), 48(2012), and 53(2013) carries in his seasons here.

At best he may get 30. I think Cooks could get 15. Give the other half to Robinson and call it a day. At least they wouldn't be wasted on Cadet and his whole 1 career carry then.

As for McCluster he had 114 carries for 516 yards with a 4.5 ypc one year, so yes he can run the ball. They chose to move him away from that role, despite that being good numbers for a guy his size(mostly because their other back is so damn good that they didn't need him to rush).

And like I said, Payton used all of those terms BEFORE the Cooks selection. You seem to keep forgetting that. I'm not saying he has no shot at the roster, but Cooks puts that in doubt where before he was a near guarantee. That's why you don't start making the roster before the draft and UDFA.
