Does this change anyone's view on starting Washington's defense?

What do we know about Royster? Who is he? Can he catch?

Got to be able to catch better than Torain, who has hands like those of the statue of Abe in the Lincoln Memorial. In fact, I think the Abe statue has SOFTER hands.

All time leading rusher in Penn State history. Not great speed, but good feet and great vision. Good hands. Would split wide at times in college. I expect a big day. He will make the most of his chance.

Where does Royster fit in the rankings?

I'm evaluating him against Peyton Hillis in one league (leaning Royster) and in another league where I gotta choose one amongst Turner, Royster, Kevin smith, and Benson. Not asking for lineup advice, just tossing it out there for comparisons sake as Royster makes an interesting play I think.
