ESPN's Pat Yasinskas says Falcons RB Jacquizz Rodgers is "auditioning to be the feature back next season." Michael Turner is on his last legs and due a prohibitive $5.5 million in 2013. Rodgers believes he's capable of being the man in Atlanta's backfield. “Go back and look, most of my carries this year were between the tackles," he said. “I think I’m a guy that can be physical while also using some finesse. I know I can run between the tackles." Rodgers averaged about 6 carries and 3 catches per game this season. We think he's capable of 15+ touches -- despite going just 5'6 and 196 pounds. Quizz carried at least 256 times in each of his 3 years at Oregon State. He has breakout potential if he enters 2013 atop Atlanta's depth chart.
