JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Maurice Jones-Drew's fantasy football radio show, “Runnin’ with MJD,” debuts Saturday night on Sirius. It’ll be a Friday night show during the regular season.
When I spent time with him Tuesday and asked him for a sleeper pick, he was initially reluctant to offer one up and spoil some of his material.
But I threw him to the ground and wrestled with him until he said Uncle and gave me one: Texans running back Arian Foster.
“I really like Arian Foster from the Houston Texans,” Jones-Drew said. “I think he’s a good running back, especially in their system, the Denver system. And I watched him in college too. It’s his style -- in that zone system, a bigger back (6-foot-1, 229 pounds) who can get a cut and get his shoulders square. He’s going to be a force to be reckoned with. I really like him and I’ve got some sources, too.”
