C.J. Prosise was the fourth running back off the board in 2016, going after Ezekiel Elliott, Derrick Henry, and Kenyan Drake. That made him a pretty significant prospect at the position despite going 90th overall, which is still fairly high for any player. He was a third round pick and an incredible athlete who had the versatility of playing both receiver and running back at Notre Dame.
As a rookie, Prosise played in Week 1 but a wrist injury forced him out of the next four games. In his second game back in action, Prosise had 80 receiving yards in a 25-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
