Melvin Gordon. 24. player
Gordon rushed for 2,587 rushing yards in 2014 and had 29 touchdowns. He rushed for a total of 4,915 yards in his four years of college football. The insane bit of truth is that he didn’t become the feature back until 2013. In his first two seasons he got just 82 rushing attempts. This man put up numbers in the past two seasons that defy the typical constraints of reality. Its like a video game.
The Cardinals have a high flying offense when Carson Palmer is healthy. But as the Cardinals learned the hard way last season Palmer’s health is something that you cannot count on. Therefore you have to add balance to the offense with the running game. Melvin Gordon does that.
