good offensive line, drafted early so will get the touches, no competition

According to John Clayton, Bishop Sankey should be a star running back. Clayton praised Sankey's ability to catch the ball, quickness and elusiveness, and ability to block. Clayton went as far as to say that Sankey should be a solid 1100-yard-plus back for several years to come. (ESPN)

are you sure?

Shonn Green RB1 on the depth chart. Semantics?

Shonn Greene's nickname should be "herpes"

I feel like he's getting over valued because of the workload. Average talent, on a bad team, and being over drafted= I probably won't be owning him. Similar to Lamar Miller last year.

He's on my radar in drafts. Depends on the scoring system and round. As others have said, right now, he's 3rd on depth chart.

Do you tell yourself that before you get burned by every "up and coming" RB

Is he a big back? Elusive type? I know he played for the Huskies, but I'm not too familiar with him.

Im worried that Greene eats up 1st and 2nd down carries, leaving Sankey 3rd down duties. TEN isn't a creative and dynamic offense that will utilize him in other ways, either.

Vegas has Sankey as the favorite to win ROY

He's comparable to Doug Martin IMO, G$

Standing at 5'10" and 203 pounds with a 4.49 40-yard dash time, Sankey proved to be a well-rounded athlete in college but not a back with great strength or great speed.

Instead he relied on his quickness and vision to manipulate the defense and get the most out of his blocking. While there is generally a fascination with the physical abilities of the best backs in the NFL, vision and consistency are generally the two traits that allow successful backs to be successful.

My issue is they have plodder greene for 1st and 2nd. then dexter for 3rd down.

where sankey fits is the question

i doubt the titans drafted the first rb in the draft to have him sit the bench in favor of the plodder greene.

I'd love to have Sankey as my RB4 or possibly RB3 depending on how well he plays in the preseason and what the rest of my roster looks like.

I would guess since Greene has had some success at this level, Tennessee would give him the first crack at it, breaking Sankey in slowly.

Forgot about McCluster. They gotta get him touches too.
