    That guy #7 from Michigan should be on this list. Not a Michigan fan but the limited times I saw that guy play he’s utterly explosive. Gonna have a big year as the featured guy.

    Phil Mafah will be a top 10 back this season. He was crapped on because of Clemson having Shipley but it's Mafahs season to shine and the country is about to know his name. As RG3 said "he is the Mafah man"

That's CONFERENCE ranking, not national ranking.🤦🏾 Help me out here, which stats are supposed to impress me...🙄 Btw, would you like to also compare where Edwards stacked up against other "back #2"s last year when it comes to total yards, yards per carry and TDs?🤔 Being "back #2" is a pretty weak excuse.
