Underrated back who might be ranked considerably higher if surrounded by more talent throughout his career. Green-Ellis lacks feel in the passing game, but otherwise is blessed with a rare combination of size, agility and acceleration. Originally signing with Indiana, Green-Ellis proved himself to be an immediate threat in the Big Ten, averaging 98 rushing yards a game against Big Ten opponents before transferring to Ole Miss, where he earned all conference honors after each of the past two seasons.

Positives: Chiseled frame … Very good initial quickness … Smooth acceleration through the hole, with the burst to emerge from the first wave of defense to get into the open field … Better football speed than his 40 time would indicate … Durable workhorse and a secure ball-handler … Productive against quality Big Ten/SEC competition despite being the obvious center of opposing defenses' attention.

Negatives: Can be an impatient runner who rushes into the hole instead of allowing his blocks time to develop … Struggles as a receiver … Rarely asked to catch passes in this offense and dropped to many that were thrown his way … Has some wear on his tires with 920 rushing attempts over his career.

Prepped at St. Augustine High in New Orleans, spending time at both running back and fullback … Earned All-District recognition from The Times-Picayune and The Clarion Herald after his senior season … All-City and All-Metro selection … Ran for 155 yards and a touchdown in a playoff game against the third-ranked team in the state of Louisiana … As a senior, ran for over 1,000 yards and had 12 touchdowns, despite playing in a running back rotation … Earned three letters in football … Coached in high school by Tyrone Payne … Also lettered twice in track … Won 4x100 and was All-District and All-Region.
