That's assuming you play them all in the standard offensive set. We can play up to 3 RBs in the Wildcat. Two of them are blockers or decoys, the third guy runs. Cobbs and Hilliard can also play special teams. Cobbs does pretty well returning punts and/or kicks.
Basically, Cobbs, Ronnie, AND Ricky got plenty of opportunities last year. One more guy just means someone stays on the bench or gets fewer opportunities game-to-game. Meanwhile, if someone goes down with an injury, we won't have to restructure plays or limit ourselves.
