I think Hester from LSU is a player that the Bolts will take a serious look at. He's projected to go somewhere in the 4th to 5th round in the draft, so we may get a shot to pick him with our first pick of the secdond day. He seems to me to be the type of player we need, as he was a fullback and halfback in college. He has good size for a runningback, but at 5-11 and 230, he's about 20 pounds lighter than lo-neal and Pinnock. The reason given for the team possibly parting ways with Neal is that they want somebody more versatile, and this kid can pound the ball, and has great hands. He also loves playing on special teams, and says that's one of his favorite parts of the game. He was a team leader for LSU last season, and a huge fan favorite. He isn't blazing fast (4.66 40 time in college), but has great speed for a fullback, and is known for his toughness and leadership. He reminds me alot of Eric Weddle, only on the other side of the ball. I think he'd be a great fit, and could step in at fullback for an added dimension, plus he could also be used in Turner's role relieving LT. He can do alot of things very well, and is just a very good overall football player. Sounds like an AJ Smith type of player to me.
