Raiders Running Back Roy Helu, Jr. Eager To Get Back In The Mix

During his first four years in the NFL, Roy Helu, Jr., has made his living primarily as a third-down option on offense, but he doesn’t see that role as what defines him as a player.

“I think most everybody’s desire as a running back is to get involved in rhythm, because that’s such a big part of the running back position,” said Helu Wednesday. “At the same time, the last couple of years I’ve been in the NFL I was designated that role, so whatever role I’m playing, and whatever that looks like, I’m just going to do my best at it.
