Looks like he has incredible speed, and really took advantage of that.

However, he doesn’t have great vision (outruns his blocks too much), seems to bounce the run outside too often (Bush-itis), and doesn’t seem to have great size.

Looks like another Best in the making. This year he will probably be brought along slowly as a change of pace back. He will be exciting and probably average 7 yards a carry but will not be an every down back (I don’t know who will be). Just like Lynch, Forsett, and Best before him he will have to work his way up the ladder, particularly coming off a major injury. Besides, we will have to prove we can throw the ball or else teams will just run blitz and stack the box. Bigelow doesn’t seem to have the size to run through a few tackles and gain the tough 4-5 yards.

my guess is, if he can stay healthy, he will gain a larger and larger role throughout the season.

i remember Best was also outrunning his blockers and running too fast for his own good, but after one season of experience, he got considerable better at controlling his run. I expect Bigelow to make the same kind of improvements under Gould.
