45. Otis Armstrong

An MVP of the Big 10 and College Football Hall of Famer for his work at Purdue, Otis Armstrong was drafted 9th Overall in 1973 by the Broncos, but as a rookie, he was little more than a Kick Returner.  He would have a monster second season in Pro Football where he would lead the NFL in Rushing Yards, Yards From Scrimmage and Approximate Value in a First Team All-Pro campaign.  Injuries took him out of most of the 1975 season, and in the following year, he would have his second 1,000 Yard Season where he would go to his second Pro Bowl.  The Running Back never had a year like that again close to this, but he would finish his career with Denver, retiring after 1980 with nearly 5,000 Yards on the ground.
