The Facts: The criticism bugs Guice because he doesn’t think it’s fair. There aren’t many questions about his ability to run the ball, but there were a few about what he could do in the pass game. His response: That’s not a fair knock. “A lot of guys say I can’t catch and stuff just because on film I don’t really catch as much because we don’t throw the ball,” Guice said at the combine. “I feel like people shouldn’t really speak on things they don’t know much of.”

Diehards Line: As ESPN.com's John Keim noted, Guice is right. LSU did not throw to its backs a lot, so there’s no real proof that Guice can’t help in this area. The Redskins saw him catch the ball enough -- 32 times at LSU -- to defray worries about his hands, but he’ll need to learn how to run routes at an NFL level out of the backfield. And pass protection will be critical. “He has some improvement to do in the pass pro, without a doubt, and I think he'll be the first one to tell you,” HC Jay Gruden said. “He's more of a first-, second-down banger. But I've seen him at his pro day catch the football. He can catch the football fine, but really, our role for him is quite easy to see. It’s first, second down.” Chris Thompson will handle the third-down role for Washington, as he has the past three seasons. But Guice is ready to show what he can do. “I’m a great receiver out the backfield, and I can block as well,” Guice said. “I’m very willing to hit and do what I have to do to stay on the field.”
