45. It’s incredible that Ezekiel Elliots lasted this long. He’s the best running back in the 2016 class, showcasing the all-around arsenal of skills teams could want from size and strength to acceleration, vision and hands for catching passes. Tough enough to handle heavy workloads as well. <p>The Denver Broncos have a decent combination of C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman going, but neither of them are close to the talent Elliot is. He’s that Terrell Davis or Arian Foster type that the Gary Kubiak offense can turn into an All-Pro. Regardless if Peyton Manning returns or not, this offense will be much more balanced and dangerous with him in the fold.</p>. RB. Ohio State. Ezekiel Elliot. 29. player
