6) Frank Gore Jr.

The son of NFL legend Frank Gore has become a powerful runner in his own right. In his last two seasons at Southern Mississippi, he established himself as one of the best rushers in Sun Belt Conference history, logging over 1,000 rushing yards in each of them.

But what sets him apart from his peers is his uncanny passing ability, which could make him a viable option in trick plays.
