Texas product D’Onta Foreman is a bully of a running back.

As a junior he exploded onto the scene, winning All-American honors and the Doak Walker Award naming him the nation’s best back.

His statistics make your jaw drop. He lead the FBS with 184.4 rushing yards per game and racked up 15 touchdowns, per NFL draft profiles.

Although he lost six fumbles, he’s still a quality running back. Remember Tiki Barber’s struggles holding onto the ball? All it took was a little Tom Coughlin magic to fix that problem.

If the Giants could scoop him up in the third-round, it would be one of the steals of the draft. Foreman and Perkins manning the backfield would be a dangerous duel threat.
