Drew Holliday is The Man. In just four seasons he is already in 15th place in CFL history for rushing yards and in 4th place for rushing TDs. He's in the last year of his contract and his demands are pretty reasonable, so he'll get an extension later in the season provided he stays healthy. Daryl "The Secret Weapon" Bradley returns for his 7th year, and with him comes the peace-of-mind that can only be provided by having two starting-quality running backs on the roster. He's also a superb punt returner, and he's dirt cheap. I turned down a multi-pick trade in the offseason (including a 1st & 2nd) for him (although I did have some second thoughts on that). Robbins remains a servicable 3rd-stringer. Sweeney is meat.

Corwin Jeffries returns as our starting FB, and is both a good lead blocker and a great pass catcher out of the backfield. Brown is our position leader, but may well get the axe as nobody likes him and our new QB of the future hates him.

Next up: receivers.
