4.16 Indianapolis Hoosier Daddy's - RB Rex Burkhead

In the real world: Burkhead did very well in limited action for Nebraska last season, rushing for 675 yards and 5 TDs on 98 carries (6.9 ypc). The Bengals drafted him in Round 6, where he figures to compete with Bernard Scott and Cedric Peerman for any touches that BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Giovani Bernard don't get. He fell that far due to a 4.73 40 at the Combine. Burkhead may also play on special teams as well.
In the TUFF world: Another good pick. I considered him earlier in the round. TUFF teams are always looking for depth at running back anywhere they can get it, and that especially holds true for Indy, which has Ray Rice, but Frank Gore just turned 30, and Willis McGahee is now 31 and coming off an injury.
