</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>"This guy's an outstanding blitz-pickup player," said Wilson. "He's outstanding as a route runner. He's got very, very good hands as a receiver. His knowledge of the game and of this offense is superior. He's a really focused football player, and obviously what he does for us from tackle to tackle, he’s a dynamic finisher. He is a complete football player and this guy’s got a bright, bright future ahead of him. ... There's nothing he can’t do."

Backup Isaac Redman has been told that he will get a series each half, play a lot on third downs and be the primary short-yardage runner. But at the goal line, Mendenhall will stay in the game. He had 13 rushing touchdowns a year ago, with 10 of those scores coming from inside the 10-yard line. Mendenhall is a good bet to at least match those numbers.
