2. Dalvin Cook, Florida St., 5-11, 206 lbs., Jr.: Fournette isn’t the only player that shows franchise back ability. Cook displays the athleticism and power that NFL teams need in a complete back.

Any other year and Cook would be the talk of the town, but this class appears to have an insane level of talent. Cook has made a name for himself due to his big play ability as displayed by his 11 touchdown runs of 20 yards or more.

Next: Christian McCaffrey, Stanford
