HB Willis McGahee (Miami)
Vital Statistics: 6-feet-0 5/8, 223, 4.45 in the 40
Numbers game: Rushed for 1,686 yards on 262 carries and scored 27 touchdowns. Rushed for 314 yards playing behind Clinton Portis in 2001. Blew out three ligaments in his left knee during Fiesta Bowl, but remains more than a month ahead of schedule in his recovery. Vows to play this fall and be able to rush for 1,300 yards as a rookie.
Upside: On one leg, he's the best back in this draft, particularly for a team that doesn't have to use him as a rookie. Has the size, speed and moves that are hard to find. The fact he is so far ahead of schedule on his rehab illustrates his work ethic. Has the power to run over tacklers but also has the elusiveness to make them miss.
