***Note: I do not name offensive linemen because it's not a position I'm the most familiar with nationally. I can name you guys that are being hyped like center Dan Mozes at West Virginia, center Ryan Kalil at USC, tackle Sam Baker at USC, tackle Levi Brown at Penn State and guard/tackle Justin Blalock at Texas, but who is to say they're better than tackle Tony Ugoh at Arkansas or tackle John Greco at Toledo? Therefore, no offensive linemen are listed, at least for the preseason.

Not sure, obviously one of Leonard/Hillis/Ballard. Those guys are great.
Thanks.
First things first, I LOVE Sutton. He's agile, strong, productive, has heart, just a quality back.
But I think his production will slip this year because the offense is breaking in a new QB, meaning defenses will key on NW's run game until the QB proves he can consistently make plays through the air.
That will cut into Sutton's YPC and total yards.
He's definitely someone I considered---
This is a good year for backs, so he'd be in that pack with Darren McFadden, Lorenzo Booker, Jonathan Stewart, Mike Hart, Mike Bush, Jamaal Charles etc. He's a top 10-15 back.
