Reynaud is also doing well as a running back. Put him there? They could. They might. But they have superstar Chris Johnson leading the stable of backs. Javon Ringer and Jamie Harper are also there. Some might even say because of their size, they are more traditional running backs. Reynaud has made plays but has he made enough to unseat one of Ringer or Harper if the Titans decide to go with the customary three running backs on the final roster? Tennessee looks like they will carry one fullback so keeping four running backs could possibly fit.
He came to the pros as a receiver. He was actually a receiver his final year at West Virginia before entering the 2008 draft. He was behind star backs, Steve Slaton and Noel Devine. But playmakers have to play. He made the Vikings' squad after going undrafted. He was only used as kick returner. Minnesota eventually converted Reynaud back to his running back position. He was later traded to the Giants and cut.
Tennessee has seemingly found gold in the versatile Reynaud. The Titans may have trouble fitting Reynaud on this roster, but my bet is they find a way. Whether they have to waive/trade a player who was originally thought to be on the 53-man roster or they just carry less players at a position with less depth in order to carry four running backs, Reynaud has proved his worth in Music City. Besides not wanting to lose out on the many talents of Reynaud (Oakland is said to be looking for a return man), coaches love to send the message that hard work does pay off.
