One Year Wonder? This year’s NFL Draft class has its share of electrifying defenders. One of the biggest question marks is former Clemson edge rusher, Kevin Dodd.

Since the NFL Draft will be here in only a few more days, now is a great type to delve into some of the less talked about running backs. In my opinion, UCLA’s Paul Perkins has the athleticism to win on Saturdays, but will that translate on Sundays? I watched his 2015 games against Nebraska, […]
