5. LSU

Despite having the top running back selected in the NFL Draft, the Tigers still have an excellent backfield. Derrius Guice led the SEC with 1,287 rushing yards and was second in the conference with 15 rushing touchdowns.

The Tigers also have Darrel Williams, a 6’1, 230-pound senior, that they can use in short-yardage situations. Williams rushed for 233 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Tigers’ no. 3 running back in 2016.
