Ray Rice  Rutgers  5-8  199  Junior

A reliable and consistent threat from the running back position, Rice leaves Rutgers just 1,471 yards short of the NCAA career record, 6,397. While being the heart and soul of the Scarlet Knights in 2007, Rice was able to eclipse the 2,000 yard mark as he rushed for a total of 2,012 yards and 24 touchdowns on a whopping 380 carries. He is a unique running back in that has a quick burst unlike any other running back in this year's draft. He is a physical runner that has a downhill running style. Rice has outstanding vision, nice patience, and does a good job in pass blocking, while possessing a great combination of lower body strength and a low center of gravity. He is bit undersized and his durability will be a big question mark as he has carried the ball a total of 910 times in college. His speed is decent, but nothing special. He likes to talk smack and get into the game; is a real competitor. Rice is a back that will often have many small runs with a breakout run once in awhile in every game. I project that Rice will be taken in the 2nd Round, but he has a slight chance to fall to the 3rd or even the 4th Round. I like Rice a lot more than other scouts do. If he lands in the right situation, then I think that he could have a lot of success at the next level.
