40. Austin Ekeler

Austin Ekeler is an interesting Running Back to rank on any list, as to date, he has yet to break 1,000 Yards on the ground in a season, but year-by-year, he has become a better dual-threat back in professional football.

Undrafted from Western State in 2017, Ekeler made the Chargers, playing in a reserve capacity, but would break out in his third season, starting eight Games and accumulating over 1,500 Yards from Scrimmage. Missing six Games in 2020 due to injury, Ekeler has been money in the last two seasons, leading the NFL in Touchdowns in both years with YFS.

Ekeler enters 2023 in his prime and in search of his first Pro Bowl.
