The Facts: Morency, who was acquired in a trade for Samkon Gado in September, has the potential to be a star, McCarthy said Wednesday at the NFL owners meetings. "Do I think Mo can be a 1,000-yard rusher in this league?" McCarthy said. "Absolutely. But the thing he's going to have to prove to all of us is the durability of doing it for 16 games."

Diehards Line:In 13 games with the Packers last season, Morency rushed 91 times for 421 yards. He primarily served as the change-of-pace back to Green. He started two games, and had single-game totals of 101 yards against Arizona and 99 yards vs. Philadelphia. He also missed two games in midseason with a back injury. The bottom line? Morency is entering his third season and has yet to prove he can stand up to consistent pounding.
