For those of you who don’t know him, he was the best running back in college football last year. You can tell by the way the Chargers traded up to select him in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft that many believe that his talent will transfer into the NFL.

Can you believe he had 32 touchdowns last year as a member of the Wisconsin Badgers? Amazing.

Last season with the Badgers, his junior season, he had ten games where he ran for over 100 yards. As a sophomore, he averaged over 10 yards per carry as well and also ended his collegiate career holding an NCAA record with yards per attempt at 7.9.

This guy’s ceiling is very high and I don’t think it will be long before his name will be mentioned with the other elite running backs.

Expect big things from him, but treat him as a number two running back heading into the season.
