4. RB Artavis Pierce
One of the position battles to watch in training camp will be for the third running back spot behind David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen. While Ryan Nall is currently the No. 3 guy, undrafted rookie Artavis Pierce will certainly challenge him for the starting job. Pierce is a versatile back, thriving in the run game and pass game during his time at Oregon State, and he’d make a good complement to Montgomery.
Unfortunately, Pierce won’t be afforded the benefit of preseason games to show what he’s capable of in live-game action. Which might be the difference between a roster spot and the practice squad.
