The diminutive Dunn believes he is under appreciated and deserves recognition for countless phases of his game that go unnoticed. A complete running back, according to Dunn, should be worried about more than what shows up in the box score. There are numerous duties a tailback must assume over the course of a game.

But the knock on Dunn isnt durability, its getting the job done in short-yardage situations. And thats where Duckett comes in.
