Talking up a player who is bound to improve couldn't be easier. Fig Newton was complete trash last season, and he would need to actively try to suck in order to be worse this season. As a rookie on a team actively trying to lose, Newton barely hit the 500 rushing mark. In fact, he had the lowest rushing total of all players who had at least 100 carries (and that's being generous, I could say 76 carries and have the same effect). In fact, even his own quarterback outrushed him (on fewer carries to boot!) and had more rushing touchdowns than him! What a fool! So clearly, he's gotta be better this season! And so far... well he has been better. 46 yards in one game puts him on pace for over 700, a marked improvement over last season! Of course some things never change: he still has less than half of the rushing yards of his own quarterback (though in his defense, only one other player has more rushing yards than said quarterback). Assuming Fig continues his upward trajectory, he may help Honalulu win 3, maybe even 4 games this season!
