  • Iowa RB Akrum Wadley forced 45 missed tackles last season, ranking No. 2 behind Ohio State’s Mike Weber among draft-eligible Big Ten running backs with less than 200 carries.
  • Wadley topped all returning Big Ten running backs with at least 75 attempts last season with his 120.9 elusive rating, which stood 12.3 points higher than any other running back in the group.
  • Averaging 4.06 yards after contact, Wadley ranked No. 2 in yards after contact per attempt among draft-eligible Big Ten running backs with at least 75 attempts.
  • Wadley’s skill set also translated over to the passing game, as he finished the 2016 season ranked No. 2 in yards per route run (2.48) among Big Ten backs with at least 25 targets. Current Carolina Panthers back Curtis Samuel was the only running back to top Wadley with his 2.76 YPRR.
