Montario Hardesty may have only had one healthy season to show his stuff.That was apparently all Cleveland needed to see of the former Tennessee running back.
Hardesty finally got his body to cooperate and allow him to prove he had what it took to be an every-down back as a senior for the Vols, a point he drilled home over 282 carries. Even after piling up 1,345 yards and 13 touchdowns there were concerns about his durability — but not enough to keep the Browns from trading up to take him with pick No. 59 of the NFL draft Friday.
“I had several teams call and ask me about him and about his character and what kind of kid he is, his toughness,” former Vols running backs coach Trooper Taylor said. “I think the knock has been that he’s been injured, but what I told them is that they’ll be another team that gets a steal.
