4.04 New Orleans Chocolate City - RB Alfred Blue

In the real world: The Houston Texans took Blue out of LSU in Round 6. Blue's got a good job situation--workhorse Arian Foster battled calf, hamstring and back problems last season, and backup Andre Brown wasn't terribly effective last season with the Giants, averaging just 3.5 yards a carry. Blue's a big back (6'2", 222 lb.) who can pound the ball inside. He rushed for 1,253 yards and 11 TDs with the Tigers--but the thing is, he needed four seasons to amass those stats. He's had ankle issues, and he tore an ACL in 2012.
In the TUFF world: It's a no-risk, potentially high reward pick, a handcuff pick (the Chocos already have Foster and Brown) and a homer pick all rolled into one. Cool.
