Melvin Gordon is the best running back in my player profiles. This season he lead the NCAA with 2,336 rushing yards. He was also top 10 in the league in yards per carry with 7.6. His 26 rushing touchdowns is also good for the top of the NCAA. His 2,336 rushing yards was more than any single player in a season since Kevin Smith of UCF in 2007 (2,567). The highlight of his season was a 408 yard single game record breaking performance in November. He averaged over 15 yards per carry that game. All of his games except for two this season (@OSU, Vs. Western Illinois) were for at least 100 yards with five games over 200 yards. Coincidentally in 2 of the 3 games Wisconsin lost this year Gordon didn't rush for 100 yards. Gordon is a Heisman finalist (although unlikely to win) and should be drafted in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft, which he has already declared for.
