The running backs were back with a vengeance in the 2015 NFL Draft. Todd Gurley and Melvin Gordon broke a recent trend of NFL teams not spending their first round picks on runners. Will that trend continue in 2016? It's probably too early to tell, but there are a few names that could end up being in the first round conversation. Here are my top five running backs entering the 2015 college football season.
1. Ezekiel Elliott
6'0, 225, Junior
Elliott's stock spiked after Ohio State's run to the national title game.
