Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, it’s, it’s… Chris Wells!
I essentially could sum this article up just like this, “WOW”! However, how much fun would that be? According to

source: Jason LaCanfora on Twitter, Wells is close to signing which is good news for you and me as this get’s Wells in the locker room and on the field learning the system and competing for a starting job against currently named Arizona Cardinal running back, Tim Hightower. That being said, the sooner “Beanie” is on the field, the more time before the season begins that he has to prove that he is the franchise RB for Arizona. Tim Hightower showed promise last year in goal line carries, but averaging 2.8 YDS per carry does not solidify your role as the starting RB with any team.

Wells is lightning fast with bruising abilities that will surely give him the edge, no pun intended, over Hightower early on in this season. That’s right, not if, but when and I am willing to guess sooner than later. You never heard of Chris “Beanie” Wells; let me share a little history about my friend. While at Ohio, he averaged almost 6.0 YDS per carry in each of his last three seasons. Although Hightower also put up good numbers in college, we are talking about two completely different college systems and levels of competition. Ohio State Buckeyes (Chris Wells) vs. Richmond Spiders (Tim Hightower), I can’t fathom how that game would turn out. Those are not easy stats to come by. Stats are only part of the proof, the proof is in the pudding and the pudding is watching the dude run with skill, agility, speed and toughness. The dude can fly and hurt! Check out this youtube.com 2008 Heisman candidate footageof “Beanie” and you decide if he is worth a top fantasy football RB sleeper pick this year. If I can beat Da Bulls or REZ DOGS to him in our top fantasy football draft, he’s mine.
“surely give him the edge” LMAO that was funny! Ya Bennie is a stud and will be a great RB. The draft is actually loaded with good RB this year, versus last years. Should be easy to grab someone within the first two rounds even in deep leagues.
