Congrats to Roy Helu (Redskins rookie record)

He compares favorably to Forte when Forte was a rookie. But I think if he had Forte's smoothness and elusiveness and ability to be great in the open field, he would have gone higher than he did.

Helu can create yards where there appear to be none and as long as he can do that, he will be a viable runner in the NFL. I wouldn't call his vision superb, but after watching Ryan Torain mistake the water cooler on the sideline for the goalpost for two seasons, I can live with the occasional missed hole.
