The Facts:
So what will Warrick Dunn's and Jerious Norwood's roles be under new HC Bobby Petrino? Nobody knows right now because Dunn has been limited in off-season workouts, including the two mini-camps, after having tissue from his right rotator cuff surgically reattached to the bone. Norwood, thicker through the shoulders and chest, took most of the repetitions at mini-camp and dazzled coaches with his speed and hands.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
However Dunn and Norwood are used -- in terms of starter, finisher, short-yardage specialist -- Petrino said he has faith that each can do what's asked. One thing that's certain, each will be catching the ball. As for that big tailback Petrino wanted but didn't get in free agency or the draft, Dunn and Norwood have changed his thinking. "When you talk about power running you're talking about running down hill, lead plays," Petrino said. "The running backs we have can do that."
