at the time, RB's at 220-230 lbs were almost unheard of, so when the Giants drafted Fredrickson and added Koy, Mercein, etc, all guys 220 +, someone dubbed them the baby bulls. not a one of them could run like Brandon jacobs though.
Also, Frederickson was an all american LB and FB in college [auburn??]. the injuries ruined his career but he was never more than an average RB in the nfl. He didn't have the speed.
That year when the Giants took Tucker, I believe they passed on a couple of guys named Joe Namath and Gale Sayers.
