LOVE. THIS. MOVE.
Hines is one of the most athletic players in the league and was severely underutilized in Indianapolis.
He can make guys miss in a phone booth (to quote Rex Ryan when talking about McCoy) and he can pass catch as good as any RB.
He is going to quickly become a fan favorite.
Great move Beane.
PS, grab him in your fantasy football league if he is available - Allen and Hines are going to shine together.
