John Riggins is the first running back you may think of, but the Washington record was set by a rookie who was a sixth-round pick out of Florida Atlantic. Morris rushed for 1,613 yards, and he would follow that up with a couple more 1,000-yard seasons in that Washington run game. Since then, he’s just sort of been hanging around the NFL and jumping from team to team, hoping to reclaim that rookie-season glory.

There’s a certain level of confidence that defensive backs need to have if they’re going to make it big in the NFL. It’s safe to say Missouri safety Joshuah Bledsoe checks off that box.
Bledsoe had a strong senior season at Missouri, recording 41 total tackles, six passes defended, a forced fumble and an interception. His production on the field earned him an invite to the Senior Bowl, where he had a golden opportunity to show what he can do in front of NFL scouts.
