10. Orleans Darkwa

Orleans Darkwa is an interesting piece for New York. For some reason the running back position has been an injury waiting to happen-type of position for this team over the course of the past couple of years.

Right now, Darkwa is the team’s 4th running back, but I think he could make a big contribution at some point in the season. Football is a game of attrition. At the end of the year, the most productive postseason teams are the one’s that are healthy.

Darkwa could prove to be extremely vital mid-to-late season when guys like Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen, and Andre Williams are breaking down due to the grind of the season. He could provide fresh legs and a much needed punch to the run game down the stretch.
