Raheem Mostert wants trade or contract: Should Chargers pair him with Austin Ekeler?

When Raheem Mostert last played in college, he was at Purdue in 2014 and the leader in rushing yards in the Big Ten was Melvin Gordon. The future Chargers running back posted an unreal 2,587 yards that season, followed by Indiana’s Tevin Coleman at 2,036 yards. Ezekiel Elliott was third at 1,878 yards.

You would have to go down to 18 to find Mostert (529 yards) and in doing so would pass by another familiar name: Northwestern’s Justin Jackson had 1,187 yards in 2014. Mostert even had fewer rushing yards in the Big Ten than Ohio State quarterback J.
