He's one of of those he's worked for all he has guys, nothing has been handed to him. Sure he isn't the most naturally gifted athlete on the team but he's a much better athlete than most are willing to credit him for.
If fans don't expect him to be an every down back and just appreciate him for what he is he'll pleasantly surprise fans. I expect Nate to be focused, to protect the ball and provide 65-85 yards a game. If he does that then Algie, Hine and others can do their part and the running back by committee works out fine.
