cnnsi's take on Rainey: Analysis: Rainey can be used as a running back, slot receiver or return specialist. He's an explosive athlete who will make big plays if given even the smallest amount of open space on the field. Rainey has the potential to be a dynamic ballcarrier for a creative offensive coordinator willing to design plays for his skills. Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/footba ... z1tMc3QQyDZ

From WalterFootball:
159. Chris Rainey, RB/KR, Florida: B+ Grade
Chris Rainey can go the distance on any play. The Steelers haven't had someone like that in their backfield since Willie Parker. They still need to obtain another running back because of Rashard Mendenhall's injury.
I like this pick. A kid with incredible atheletic ability.

Quote: slot receiver or return specialist. Core ST'er if nothing else pans out for this young man. He certainly needs to bulk up a bit if he's to be used as a 3rd down RB option. Love this pick as well. Potential! _________________ Honor the Fallen. http://www.militarytimes.com/valor/

Decent pick, but I would have taken a CB or FS.

Mayock just gushed over Rainey. Saying if he keeps his nose clean, he is a jewel.
