Liked this kid a lot at Buffalo. Very shifty and deceptively strong. Ran for about a billion yards in his career.
He was ignored by the major pre-draft all-star games, did not receive a combine invite, and went undrafted. His pro day workout was pretty ho-hum. My expectations were low for him after all of that, but he has reportedly been impressive at Chargers training camp. I DVR'd the game last night and was surprised by how early he got into the game. He played in the 2nd quarter and flashed some nice talent.

The announcers compared him to Sproles. I think he's a classic bowling ball type in the mold of Ray Rice and MJD. San Diego's RB depth chart seems crowded, but Woodhead is a specialist, Mathews is up for free agency after the season, and Donald Brown is Donald Brown. There might be some opportunity here if BO keeps impressing.
If he's out there on your waiver wire, I would take a shot on him. This is the kind of low-risk gamble that can have a nice payoff.
