T.J. Yeldon (Athlon Consensus #32)

The Analysis

Yeldon is one of the more complete overall athletes in this class. He possesses solid top end speed and adequate acceleration. He has a tall frame that has plenty of length and room to grow - particularly to add bulk/power to his lower body. He shows good vision and balance as his slashing running style allows him to slice through small creases in the defense. He has excellent hands and is such an above average receiver that he could easily end up at wideout - considering his tallish, lean frame. Has seen his stock rise all season long.

Yeldon carried 231 times for 2,196 yards and 32 touchdowns as a senior in 2011.
