Remember Marcus Lattimore?
Way back in 2010, Lattimore burst onto the scene by rushing for 1,197 yards and 17 touchdowns as a freshman for South Carolina. His combination of power and speed piqued the interest of NFL scouts from the beginning, and he was widely considered one of the best running back prospects in all of college football.
His star burgeoned in the early parts of the 2011 season, when he rushed for 818 yards and 10 touchdowns in seven games. That's when his injury nightmares began—Lattimore tore the ACL in his right knee against Mississippi State, an injury that ended his sophomore campaign.
