North Carolina State released a depth chart today for their opener against Western Carolina, which included redshirt freshman Dean Haynes as the #1 running back.
Huh? Haynes was not amongst the four or five names we've heard throughout spring or summer - because he was practicing at cornerback as late as mid August! True frosh Mustafa Greene is listed second, and should get his chance to shine this week. This probably speaks to the health, or lack thereof for Curtis Underwood and James Washington, but Haynes may rack up yards against an overmatched opponent. He'll make a decent play for desperate ACC owners, but it's insane to think he'll be #1 all season. Don't rush to the waiver wire just yet; Haynes probably isn't in the player pool!
