– One of the most underrated rookie running backs of the 2015 NFL Draft class is Cameron Artis-Payne. He is jack of all trades, but master of none. The best I can describe his game is just how solid of a player this guy is. The reason why he is on this list is mainly because of the question mark surrounding Jonathan Stewart. Is he going to stay healthy? If I was a betting man, I would 110% say no. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time Stewart wasn’t hobbled by something during a season, and when that happens again, look for Artis-Payne to seize the opportunity.
