Rams grab ex-Ohio State star Pittman on waivers
By Jim Thomas
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
09/02/2007

As the 2007 draft unfolded in April, many Rams fans and draftniks thought the team should have selected running back Antonio Pittman of Ohio State.

That didn't happen -- the Rams selected running back-fullback Brian Leonard of Rutgers in the second round.

But the Rams have ended up with Pittman anyway, claiming him on waivers Sunday from the New Orleans Saints. To make room for Pittman, the Rams placed running back Rich Alexis on waivers.

Cincinnati also put in a claim on Pittman, but the Rams were awarded his services because of a poorer record than the Bengals in '06. (Actually both teams finished 8-8, but the Rams got Pittman on the tie-breaker -- an easier strength of schedule.)

PIttman, 5-11, 207 pounds, was a fourth-round draft pick by the Saints. At Ohio State, he led the Buckeyes in rushing in both the '05 and '06 seasons.

He had seven 100-yard rushing games last season, including 139 against arch-rival Michigan. He turned pro after his junior season.

Between Pittman and Leonard, Hopefully one of them will pan out.

Lol, maybe Brian Leonard can get a break once in a while?

nothing wrong with depth


when a player you were targeting in the early/middle of the draft gets cut and you have an oppurtunity, you sign him regardless.... if Leonard makes the move to FB which theres been talks of and I think he'll be able to make a smooth transition to, he has no problems..... the best players will play, period

I think that this could work out great. Give Jack and Len a breather.
