Ricky Watters won't like this, but the Eagles have a 5'11",
220-pound rookie named Duce Staley who's expected to take some
of the veteran's carries this year—his catches too, since
Staley is a converted wideout. The third-rounder ran up the
biggest rushing numbers at South Carolina since Harold Green's
of almost a decade earlier. "When I worked him out, he shocked
me," running backs coach Ted Williams says. "Ray Rhodes told me
to go find the guy I want to coach. This is the guy." But the
best thing about the youngster may be his humility. "I want to
play," says Staley, who once recorded 302 all-purpose yards
against Tennessee. "But if I don't play right away, I can deal
with that." |
