1. RB Sony Michel, Georgia
Sony Michel is viewed as the 7th best running back in this year’s NFL Draft class, but his stock is quickly rising. He has 1,129 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns this season to go along with 96 receiving yards and a score. In the Rose Bowl against Oklahoma, Michel had 181 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 41 receiving yards, and a receiving touchdown. That caught the eye of a ton of fans and scouts.
Michel, right now, is projected as a 2nd or 3rd round pick, but he may sneak up into the late 1st round as well. His Rose Bowl performance got him started, and a strong NFL Combine could propel him even further up the draft boards. New England may have to use their 1st round pick on Sony Michel if they want him bad enough. He’d be a tremendous asset with the team and could maybe even be used as a return man.

The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide will kick off the National Championship Game at 8 PM on Monday night inside the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA.
