The only reason why James Conner wasn't the first running back taken is because he missed a year because of an ACL and cancer.
1800 rushing yards and 26 TDs as a sophmore.
Cancer as a junior
1100 rushing yards, 16 rushing TDs and magically became a legit receiving threat with 300 receiving yards and 4 TD catches as a senior.
His senior season begin less than 12 months after tearing his ACL and less than 9 months after learning he had stage 2 cancer in his neck and chest.
Steelers took him a round after the Bengals took Mixon.
