The first round of the 2016 NFL draft is in the books. So we decided to poll our Big Ten writers and ask them to do some projecting moving forward: What B1G player will have the best pro career?
Here's what they had to say:
Brian Bennett: Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott
I normally wouldn’t think about picking a running back, whose pro careers are often short and whose importance in the pass-heavy NFL has diminished. But Elliott is no ordinary case.
Elliott is being viewed as one of the top running back prospects in recent years, a top-five pick in an era where teams more often than not wait to draft that position.
