Yeah. There was a great story in the FWST about Hughes being told he'd get to try out to play running back by Patterson during recruitment if he wanted, but they wanted him to play defense. Wound up getting assigned #98 his first day and got a locker right in the middle of a bunch of defensive guys that the same thing happened to, and never even asked to go carry the ball.
