Packers to pursue 'go-to back' in ofseason
DuJuan Harris - RB - Green Bay Packers
Jan. 18, 2013 - 12:05 PM ET

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel expects the Packers to pursue a "go-to back" this offseason.

The Journal-Sentinel characterizes postseason lead rusher DuJuan Harris as a "change-of-pace" back. The Packers realized in 2012 that they needed a foundation run game, trying desperately to fit Cedric Benson and later Alex Green into the role. They finished 16th in rushing attempts, but 22nd in yards per carry. Benson is not expected back, and James Starks may not return, either.
