Rookie fifth-round pick Jerome Harrison won’t necessarily blow former first-rounder William Green out of town. General Manager Phil Savage said Green heads to minicamp as the top backup to 1,200-yard rusher Reuben Droughns.
“I think William is the incumbent as the second-string tailback,” Savage said on a WTAM-AM draft show. “Someone’s going to have to beat him out.
“The drafting of Jerome Harrison probably doesn’t effect William Green as much as it would Lee Suggs or Jason Wright. Suggs, Wright and Harrison are slated to be third-down backs.
“If Harrison is that good, then maybe Jason and Lee have to compete with William.”
