9) Carlos Hyde

Hyde may be a little low on this list, but trust me that does not mean he’s not good. After all, he made the top 10.  During his seasons as a Buckeye, Hyde rushed for 3,198 yards on 523 carries and scored a total of 37 touchdowns.

This marked the first time as well that now former coach Urban Meyer had an 1,000 yard running back according to 247Sports.

Hyde was drafted by the 49ers in 2014 but so far it has been up and down as injuries and trades been taking a toll on him.  I do however hope with the Chiefs that he finds his mojo again and does great for them.
