Earlier in the year Bradshaw was leading the league with Adrian Peterson in this ranking… obviously the Giants tailing off at the end of the year at OL, as well as fumbling issues leading to backing up Jacobs instead of starting can account for the drop in performance statistically. Tough competition aside, Bradshaw deserves to be acknowledged as one of the most elusive backs in the league.
Just imagine if Eli starts checking down to him more next year, 8 forced MTs for his limited amount of receptions looks pretty good but no doubt can be improved upon in 2011. In any case, we’re glad to see his name on the stat sheet here.
