RB/FB Jacob Hester impressive in pre-season debut.

So, this begs the question... does Hester become a vulture and steal some of the short TDs away from LT? Hester is a guy I scouted extensively in college and the thing that always amazed me was that he almost never got knocked backwards or was tackled for a loss. He has an uncanny ability to find even the smallest of creases and then has the leg drive and body lean to gain positive yardage. Surely his blocking will help LT to continue his reign as a FF legend, but will his ability to run steal some of the glory?
