4.08 San Diego Slewage - RB Ray Graham

In the real world: The Houston Texans signed Graham as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh. A 4.8 40 at the Combine pretty much killed what was left of his draft stock, which had already suffered somewhat from an October 2011 torn ACL. Prior to that injury, though, he was drawing comparisons to Ray Rice.
In the TUFF world: Well, it's Round 4, and if in doubt, take a running back. That certainly worked with Alfred Morris last year. San Diego knows better than anyone how important RBs can be in TUFF--in 2011, a rule change was proposed that would allowed TUFF teams to start a fourth wide receiver or a second tight end instead of a second running back. Even though his own RB depth was crappy at the time, Todd Hansen still voted against it, and given that he's won two TUFF Bowls under the existing rules, I couldn't blame him for voting that way.
