32 is the number for the alpha back ..Payton wore 34 because I believe 32 was unavailable for the Bears.

What happened to my ¤cash?
Color me impressed. The kid is getting it done. Glad it all came together. I thought that getting lost in the two-deep every year he’d be a career backup at best. It’s awesome that he’s balling out and doing it on the same team as his brother. That’s flipp’n awesome.

ROD SMITH FINDING SUCCESS WITH NFL, DALLAS COWBOYS AFTER LOSING HIS WAY AT OHIO STATE
Rod Smith is coming off of his most successful season on the football field since high school.
After running only two carries for five yards and catching only two passes in his first two seasons of trying to make it in the NFL, Smith finally had his opportunity to break through for the Dallas Cowboys this past season, rushing 55 times for 232 yards and four touchdowns and catching 19 passes for 202 yards and another touchdown – better production than the once highly touted recruit out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, ever had in any of his seasons at Ohio State.
Smith, who was ultimately dismissed from the Buckeyes as a fifth-year senior in 2014 – midway through their national championship season – after failing a drug test, acknowledged that his career at Ohio State didn’t go the way anyone had hoped. Off-field mistakes helped keep Smith buried on the running back depth chart throughout his Ohio State career, which he finished with less with 550 career rushing yards and 100 career receiving yards as a result.
Having learned his lesson from what went wrong with the Buckeyes, however, Smith believes he is in a better place now than he has ever been before.
"A lot of stuff that happened (at Ohio State), it forced me to grow up," Smith said last week while in Columbus for the Midwest Sports Spectacular. "It started off rocky, but I’m back on track right now, and I’m having a blast.
"Going through the ups and downs on and off the field, it’s tough, but you keep that mindset focused on what goals you’re trying to accomplish and anything is possible. You just can’t let no one or let yourself down, so got to go out there and just have that attack mentality at everything you do."
