Kenneth Darby update

Kenneth Darby was interviewed recently at a charity golf tournament in Huntsville, Alabama. He says he's been performing a "brutal training regimen" to stay in shape during the lockout.

Darby may yet be the answer to the Steven Jackson backup dilemma, not that much of Rams Nation believes he'd be the best answer. I think he'd top out as a very poor man's Darren Sproles. However, the Huntsville Times article says Rams coaches speak highly of Darby and "considered him a solid insurance policy behind Jackson." Darby himself says the team was still "pretty interested" in him at the time he left after the season.

It looks like we'll find out soon how free agency's going to go (more in a later post), so Darby will be getting out of career limbo before too long. The question is whether or not he'll also be getting out of St. Louis in the process.
