With the NFL lockout coming to an end soon, undrafted players from the 2011 NFL Draft will finally be able to sign with teams. Over the next couple days we'll look at some of the top available players your team may be considering.
With 28 running backs being picked in the 2011 NFL Draft, there isn't much left to choose from. That even includes three players (Anthony Sherman, Shaun Chapas and Stanley Havili) who were college fullbacks.
Mario Fannin | 5'10, 231 pounds | Auburn
Surprisingly good as an all-around running back, Fannin's biggest issues are pure speed and fumbling. Plays with a good amount of power, is a solid blocker and above-average as a receiver.
NFL lockout: Top UDFA running backs
Henry Hynoski | 6'0, 257 pounds | Pittsburgh
Hynoski is a nimble fullback who is better as a pass receiver than blocker. Running the ball, Hynoski is probably only useful in occasional short yardage situations. Solid as a run blocker as long as he doesn’t have to target quick defenders.
Derrick Locke | 5'9, 182 pounds | Kentucky
If he’s healthy and in the right situation, Locke can be a playmaker for whoever picks him up. He has plenty of speed and elusiveness in his game and is a weapon receiving and returning the ball.
