Small school RB Austin Ekeler

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Austin Ekeler was a Division II star who is slowly creeping up big boards.  As a sophomore, Ekeler set Western’s single-season records with 1,676 rushing yards and 2,903 all-purpose yards. He led all of Division II in 2015, averaging 203.9 all-purpose yards a game.

RB Austin Ekeler (5-8 5/8, 198) ran the 40 in 4.43 (which would rank fourth at the Combine at his position), had a 40.5-inch vertical (would have been the best at the Combine among running backs), a 10-8 broad jump (third among backs), a 4.28-second short shuttle, and a 6.85-second three-cone (third among backs). He's a projected post-draft free agent.


2016, and 2015.  Feel free to turn it on mute.

IMO, this is the type of unknown player Gettleman drafts in the 5th or 6th and the huddle loses their cool.
