And his running style fits the zone blocking scheme they use (he's a cut-back runner) and hides his weaknesses (hesitation at the LOS). Nebraska used several RB's, yet he stood out - getting 1,147 yards as a junior on 220 carries (5.2 yards a carry) and then 1,245 yards as a senior on just 188 carries (6.6 a carry!). Granted, he has a lot of weaknesses in the passing game, but if/WHEN Torrain gets injured, Helu could put up huge numbers on the ground.

Believe Helu could easily be another late round pick by Shanny that pans out at RB.
