D’Onta Foreman is going pro. The University of Texas running back announced today that he’s declaring for the NFL draft. 
The addition of Foreman makes this year’s crop of running backs even stronger. Tailbacks like Foreman, Leonard Fournette of LSU, Dalvin Cook of Florida State, and Christian McCaffrey of Stanford are all projected to go in the early rounds. As of this writing, many projections have Foreman pegged as a Day 2 prospect, but he could find his way into the first round.
Foreman stands as the nation’s leading rusher with 2,028 yards and he also has 15 touchdowns on the year. He carried the ball 323 times, making him just one of three tailbacks in the country to crack 300 attempts. Foreman averaged an eye-popping 29.36 carries per contest in the team’s eleven-game season. For reference, DeMarco Murray averaged 24.5 carries per game in 2014 for the Cowboys. Foreman’s per game average of carries even eclipses Larry Johnson in 2006 (416 carries, 26 attempts per game), which stands as the NFL’s all-time single-season rushing attempt record.
With size and a workhorse reputation, Foreman is a prospect to watch this spring.
Get em saints
Would love to see him as the heir to LeGarrette Blount in New England.
Why?
Let’s get him Philly….Wentz and Foreman…can you imagine???
He’s going to the 49ers, Saints, or Packets. #forseethefuture
Fr 49ers need a reliable back that doesn’t need the cowboys o line to get stuff done
Um…. Donnel Pumphrey of San Diego State is going to surpass him and be the all time leading rusher in NCAA history, still has 2 games left. Go Aztecs!
