D.J. Harper

An exceptional injury history is the only thing preventing Harper from landing in the top 12 or 15 running backs. He ran for 284 yards (6.5 YPC) and three touchdowns in the first three weeks of the 2009 season, but then he suffered a torn ACL and lost his role to Doug Martin. Almost exactly one year later, Harper tore the same ACL again. With Boise State transitioning out of the Kellen Moore era, Harper should be in line for as much work as he can take in 2012. Boise State will need to run the ball more than usual, and Harper is the best option, giving him solid upside if he can stay healthy.
