Montario Hardesty impressing Eric Mangini
When I ranked rookie running backs for fantasy football, Browns running back Montario Hardesty was in my top five.
And, so far, Hardesty is impressing the guy who will decide on how much playing time he will receive.
“Some guys couldn’t get the answers,” [Browns coach Eric] Mangini said [of randomly asking rookies questions], per the Canton Repository (via the National Football Post). “Whenever they couldn’t get an answer, (Hardesty) had his hand in the air. He knew the answer. And it was on a range of different things. You could tell he was constantly paying attention, constantly taking notes.”
In addition, Mangini said “some guys run big” in reference to Hardesty running bigger than he actually is.
Meanwhile, Jerome Harrison is not likely to show up on Monday when the team begins their organized team activities, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
However, it sounds like he might want to reconsider.
