2008 RB Class update

[DFWJC]

I remember reading a few posts about how Mike Hart was going to be the best of the running backs in 2008 because he had such a big heart. He showed such fire and determination at Michigan that he was going to be good.

He has yet to impress Indy.

71 attempts
264 yards
3.7 avg
2 TDs
12 receptions
97 yards
8.1 avg
0 TDs

I guess it is sometimes true, you can't measure the size of a player's heart.

He went in the 6th round for a reason.

But we can add another to that long list of 2008 RBs that stuck and at least contributed something.
