The Facts:
A lot of mock drafts have the Bucs selecting Alabama RB Trent Richardson. The premise of this is Greg Schiano's willingness to run the ball. How would this sit with Blount? "I would not like that pick," Blount said at Nike's unveiling of the new NFL uniforms in New York City. "I would definitely not be happy with that pick."

According to CBSSports.com's Will Brinson, Blount stressed that he wants to be a feature back, and when asked about the possibility of taking on a Brandon Jacobs-like role, he expressed, in no uncertain terms that he wouldn't want to simply be a goal-line guy. "I don't want that role," Blount said. Brinson went on to advise readers that Blount believes he's the type of player who can be a feature back. His production his first season -- more than 1,000 yards in just seven starts -- backs up that notion. But Blount struggled last year, as his yards per carry fell to 4.2 (from an even five). And he also struggled to hold onto the ball -- something
Schiano seems to take very seriously.
