Who does Mel Kiper say are the 2 best college football underclassmen running backs?”
NFL Draft – Underclassmen Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma [Prediction: Declaring 80%] – Bradford will have a very difficult decision to face. Scouts and fans alike may be a little confused on where Bradford belongs. While some feel his pinpoint accuracy and incredible decision-making warrant a top 5 selection, some may be a little hesitant citing his youth and incredible supporting talent around him as reasons to knock him back. Recent rumors have said that he’ll be declaring after the National Title game barring a serious injury. Especially if Bradford can win the title, there would be nothing left for Bradford to prove in college, making his decision an easy one. Projected Round: Top 10 Selection. Nate Davis, QB, Ball State [Prediction: Declaring 55%] – Nate Davis is one of the most interesting prospects because of his mobility getting out of the pocket.

Mel Kiper I would say CJ Spiller from Clemson. He needs to have a productive year. They don’t have James Davis anymore. He will go into the year as the top senior running back. Other guys are James Starks from Buffalo, LeGarrette Blount from Oregon, Charles Scott from LSU, Stafon Johnson from USC, Chris Brown, Oklahoma. The top running backs are all underclassmen. Jonathan Dwyer from Georgia Tech could be, if he comes out early, a top 15-20 pick. Jahvid Best from Cal is a little undersized, but he could be in that 20-32 range. The two underclassmen could go ahead of any senior running backs. Dwyer certainly will be.
