3. Christian McCaffrey, Stanford, 6-0, 202 lbs., Jr.: There is a lot of Reggie Bush to McCaffrey’s game with his elite agility and vision. Much like Cook, McCaffrey can reach pay dirt on any play and his versatility will help elevate his stock.

A Heisman favorite after dominating every aspect of the game last season, every defense’s main focus will be to stop him this year. McCaffrey will need to prove he can continue to dominate as a runner, receiver, and returner.
