While Redskins RB Ryan Torain has been taking the 1st-team reps early in training camp, RB Roy Helu is right on his tail for the starting job. According to beat writer Rick Maese, Helu “has looked impressive in the early days of training camp, showing a burst of speed and some flashy moves in the open field.” HC Mike Shanahan confirmed that Torain “has some competition.” Of course, RB Tim Hightower is also in the backfield mix. It’s a crowded picture, but Helu remains our favorite of the bunch.
