Tashard Choice, RB Thursday 5/8, 10:20 AM CT

If all goes well this season, Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tashard Choice's biggest contributions will come on special teams, according to the Dallas Morning News. Choice will be the No. 3 back behind Pro Bowler Marion Barber and first round pick Felix Jones. Choice is in town to provide depth and insurance. However, the odds that Barber and Jones will go through an entire season without getting nicked up are slim. It's Choice's job to be ready to produce when the Cowboys need him.

Our View: Choice is a physical player that excels in pass blocking. The only knock on him is the lack of breakaway speed, but if Barber were to miss an extended period of time he is better suited than Jones, to run between the tackles. The Cowboys' plan is to sign Barber to a long-term deal, but if that doesn't happen, Choice could be splitting carries with Jones in 2009, making him an interesting dynasty prospect.
