Bleacher Report article - Every NFL teams potential secret weapon.....
For an offense that features quarterback Aaron Rodgers to be effective running the ball, all that is necessary is a decisive and efficient running back. The Green Bay Packers had a need for a backup to Eddie Lacy after James Starks took a sharp decline in 2014.
Undrafted free agent John Crockett could be the Packers’ secret weapon in 2015. He is patient yet athletic enough to act when he finds a running lane. He’s not starter material at this point, but he was highly productive at North Dakota State because he takes what he is given.
Lacy needs to have a quality backup to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Giving Crockett what Starks handled in 2014, which was 85 carries, is a good way to give Lacy that rest.Also of note, #29 - WR Tyler Lockett, Kansas State (Seattle Seahawks)The Detroit Lions have quantity in their backfield, but the quality leaves room for desire. Veterans Joique Bell and Theo Riddick haven’t been consistently good to this point in their careers; however, the Lions desperately need help creating yards rushing the ball.
After adding two rookies in the draft process in Ameer Abdullah and Zach Zenner, there is more reason for optimism that the Lions will be more effective running the ball. Each could end up atop the depth chart before the season is over.
Zenner was a great undrafted free-agent pickup. He had more than 2,000 yards rushing three times in college and proved to be a good athlete at the NFL combine. He can make an early impact for the Lions.

No David Johnson? Cardinals
Sorry for drift, but I think he is a stud.

I like the comment from this article about putting RB Harris on the practice squad instead of Green Bay's 53 man roster.....
If there isn't a place for Harris on Green Bay's 53-man roster, the team may offer him a spot on the practice squad.
While another team would almost undoubtedly sign Crockett away, the Packers might be able to stash Harris there.
Got to see John Crockett play on Jordy Nelson's fundraiser softball game today.
