Jordan Chunn

A member of the 2017 Doak Walker Award Watch List, Chunn is entering his senior season with lofty expectations after a strong 2016 campaign in which he ran for 1,288 yards and 16 touchdowns on 279 carries . Chunn (6-1, 227) is a bruising back that's shown an ability to bully opposing defenses. Troy leans on Chunn when it gets close to the goal line as his 50 red zone carries from last season (14 RZ TDs) are among the most by a returning running back. Chunn's general lack of explosiveness (4.62 YPC in 2016) hinders his big play upside, but the fact of the matter is that he'll see one of the heaviest workloads -- and red zone workloads -- in the nation. With that, Chunn should easily surpass the 200-carry, 10-touchdown, 1,000-yard thresholds to remain a viable option in any format.
