There's also a pair of FCS stud running backs that will get their chance to shine in front of NFL scouts.

Chase Edmonds – Fordham
Edmonds was on pace to break the all-time record for most rushing yards by an FCS running back until injuries hamstrung him in 2017, but the mighty back still ended his Rams' career with an incredible 5,862 yards on the ground and 67 touchdowns.
Edmonds' quickness and versatility out of the backfield would make him an absolute steal in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Roc Thomas – Jacksonville State
A former five-star prospect who appeared in 23 games with Auburn from 2014-15 and found the end zone a trio of times, Thomas really made his mark the past two seasons after transferring to the Gamecocks.
He finished his career at Jacksonville State with 1,847 yards and 20 touchdowns. His 13 rushing TDs led the Ohio Valley this past season while his 88.8-yards rushing per contest was the conference's second best.
He's also the master of the spin move.
