Sporting News Matt Hayes lists Cal Jahvid Best as his most overrated running back in the 2010 NFL draft. "I get it -- the NFL loves speed," Hayes writes. "But while Best was a terrific college tailback, he's 5-9 and weighs less than 200 pounds. He'll get pinballed weekly in the NFL."
Size is a legitimate concern with Best, but it is unfair to simply label him a speed back. Also, with most teams going with a running back platoon, Best should be able to survive getting "pinballed".
