I'm sorry but he is way underrated this year. And IMO, there's no way people should be drafting all these backs before him... Forte, Jones-Drew, Slaton, Gore, Chris Johnson. I can see A.P. and even Steven Jackson and DeAngelo Williams. But that's about it. LT is still one of the top 3 to 4 backs in the league and he will prove it this year. People thought I was crazy for picking him 3rd after AP and Jones-Drew. I mean one guy even said something like... "Man he's way down there!" And someone else said something about me not taking Forte. Sorry but LT wouldn't have been around for my next pick. And he'll do alot more damage this year than Forte will. Bank on it. LT is not getting near the respect he should because he had an average year last year and alot of people are going to regret passing on him in favor of these other guys.
The thing is, LT is a great back. And great backs dont just fade into oblivion at the age of 30. Look at the numbers Emmitt Smith had in his ninth year. Walter Payton posted huge numbers in his 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th year. Barry Sanders ran for over 2,000 yards in his ninth season. And his 10th year saw 1,491 yds. So my point is this: LT still has alot of great football left in him. You watch. Just don't be shocked when it happens.
