Pitt NFL Draft Projections: James Conner

Next up in our quick hitters of potential Pitt NFL Draft picks is probably the most intriguing guy in running back James Conner.

Conner's battle and subsequent comeback are well documented. He had an incredible 2014 season before missing almost all of 2015 and returning to have a great year in 2016 before declaring early for the draft. Conner's 2016 didn't top the mammoth 2014 year that he had as the ACC Player of the Year, but he more than answered any questions if he can still produce.

Last year, Conner ran for 1,092 yards while posting career-bests in catches (21) and yardage (302).
