Selvin Young

Young was solid in relief work last year, averaging 5.2 YPC on 140 rushing attempts. He's got good size and speed and hits the hole with authority. Still, there's some question as to whether Young's body is built to carry a full workload, and coach Mike Shanahan has stated Young's ideally suited for 10-to-15 touches per game. However, Young added seven pounds of muscle this offseason, and Shanahan has changed his tune, suggesting Young could be the team's primary ballcarrier after the release of Travis Henry. Young is also an effective receiver out of the backfield, but he struggled in short-yardage situations, going 0-for-7 at the goal line in 2007. Rookie Ryan Torain is a better option from in close and will get a serious opportunity to win the feature role, though he's also injury-prone. This is likely going to be a timeshare, but if one of the two were to emerge as the lone feature back, he'd have top-15 upside.
