Teams told Mendenhall is retiring

Ellington is 5-9, 199 and the coaches didn't think he could be a FT back last year. He never had more than 15 runs in any game so there will be someone else involved.

I agree - there are a number of free agent backs who could end up there and have at least some success. But it will remain a committee there.

Speaking at the Combine on Friday, coach Bruce Arians said the Cardinals "want to build our offense around" Andre Ellington.

 

 

 

Arians also said Ellington has already added 10 pounds to his frame since the season ended. Considering Arians has always been a pass-first offensive mind, don't expect Ellington to suddenly become a 20-carry-per-game back. But with Rashard Mendenhall a free agent and not likely to be a priority for the Cardinals, Ellington is going to have an opportunity to become the feature back in Arizona. He's an asset in the passing game and could flirt with 50-plus catches and 1,500-plus total yards in 2014. Ellington has serious breakout potential as a sophomore.
