How draft status shafted Seahawks RB Chris Carson in ESPN position rankings

In each of the last two seasons, Seattle Seahawks starting running back Chris Carson has given the team production far in excess of what one would normally anticipate from a seventh round draft pick. Add in that Carson had not been a full time starter in college at Oklahoma State, after being benched as a freshman at Butler Community College. However, in each of the past two seasons Carson has easily eclipsed the thousand yard mark, while also adding sixteen touchdowns on the ground. In particular his ability to break tackles and his elusiveness make him extremely valuable in short yardage situations.
