With a month left before the draft, one of the more interesting prospects is Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon.
There has been a ton of talk about running backs not going in the first round for consecutive years, a lot of talk about Georgia back Todd Gurley's ceiling (and his knee injury), and there sits Gordon, coming off a phenomenal near-Heisman season at Wisconsin.
In a "Path to the Pros" interview with Stack.com, Gordon lays out his goal, and that's to outdo every other back in the 2015 class.
"I want to be the best back, that's my goal," Gordon said.
Gordon is known for his big runs, and his speed, but in the video above he looks pretty strong and he's not a small back at 215 pounds. To get into the first round, teams will have to be convinced that he is more than a home-run threat.
Gordon has another goal, and that's to be a part of a winner. He didn't win a state title in high school or a national championship in college and he wants to experience being a champion.
"To win a Super Bowl, that's better than a national championship, that's better than anything," Gordon said to Stack.com. "But you have to put in the work."
