40. Austin Ekeler

Austin Ekeler is an interesting Running Back to rank on any list, as to date, he has yet to break 1,000 Yards on the ground in a season, but year-by-year, he has become a better dual-threat back in professional football.

Undrafted from Western State in 2017, Ekeler made the Chargers, playing in a reserve capacity, but would break out in his third season, starting eight Games and accumulating over 1,500 Yards from Scrimmage. Missing six Games in 2020 due to injury, Ekeler was money in the 2021 and 2022, leading the NFL in Touchdowns iwith a combined YFS close to 3,200.  Ekeler's production fell in 2023 (1,064 YFS/6 TDs), and he signed with the Washington Commanders at season's end

Ekeler overall compiled 8.239 Yards From Scrimmage with 69 Touchdowns.
