Nice piece by Chris Low on an impressive player, the kind of guy that seems easy to root for (except on Aug 30, of course).

IT'S NEARING 3 A.M. in Madison, Wisconsin, and many of Melvin Gordon's teammates are lounging at home after a June night out... Gordon is not. To find him, you'd need to look to the front yard, where the 6-foot-1 junior has tossed a rope ladder to the ground and chosen this time, as good a time as any, to run a few agility drills.

"Gordon seems like a man out to prove a point, and further proof resides on his bedroom wall, where he has taped a lineup of his collegiate running back competition: Georgia's Todd Gurley, Alabama's T.J. Yeldon, Nebraska's Ameer Abdullah, Miami's Duke Johnson."

Proving the NFL wrong about what?

He got a second round grade. No running backs got drafted in the first round last year. The NFL basically told him he was one of the best running backs eligible
