College / 2010 NFL Draft: Jonathan Dwyer enjoyed success as Georgia Tech tail back but seemed to have problems proving he could be successful in the NFL. A few months before the draft Dwyer was thought to be at least a third round selection but on draft weekend he fell all the way to the sixth round.

Questions about his hands, speed and medical issues caused Dwyer to free fall out of where his ability suggested he should go. In the end, it was the Steelers that took a chance on this talented player, and he is now a strong candidate to backup Rashard Mendenhall.

2010 NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings: Dwyer had much to learn coming into OTA’s this offseason has he would have to learn the, I formation as he ran a different style in college. As we are in late June now it looks like Dwyer is picking up the offense well and could unseat Mewelde Moore as the No.2 runner in this offense.

Dwyer is also in a battle to win the Steelers short yardage carries as it is an open competition for those touches. In the end, as long as Dwyer continues to progress, I expect him to be Mendenhall’s backup at some point this year. For a team that is projected to be run heavy this season, Dwyer could see some decent work in the offense.

If Mendenhall should go down for any length of time, Dwyer would be a hot name on the waiver wire this season.
