The Diaspora Fan: Austin Ekeler is the NFL’s next big running back

On the positive side, folks are stoked about a Week 1 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts and a perfect start to the season. On the other hand, the Bolts arguably made the game too close at the end (multiple late-game turnovers and what looked like no run defense) and experienced multiple injuries to key players (Melvin Ingram, Mike Williams and Damian Square among some of them).

One major standout from Sunday was the phenomenal play of running back Austin Ekeler. Most Chargers fans know the value of Ekeler as well as his story.
