Purdue Football: Running Backs Breakdown

One position Coach Hazell & his staff did a decent job of recruiting was the running back spot.

It is arguably our deepest position, where I feel comfortable with the top 5 guys on our roster. It is a strange feeling, as we were always known to be a quarterback school. If our run game shows up this season and David Blough does well, we will have a pretty good offense.

In 2015, Markell Jones as a freshman took the team by storm. He was great, even after DJ Knox got hurt, he carried the workload of the team.
