Terry Swanson may be number two in the Toledo Rockets’ backfield, but he’s number 23 on our list of the MAC’s 25 best players headed into 2016.
Of course, Swanson isn’t your traditional backup running back. He’s not used as a red zone bruiser, racking up touchdowns on short yardage plays. Nor is he used simply as a way to keep fellow running back Kareem Hunt fresh. Swanson is a very real weapon that has been used quite a bit by the Rockets in a number of scenarios, and will be called on the same way in 2016.
