The man has put up 15+ rushing touchdowns a season for, what, 5 years in a row? Regardless of your O-line, that's pretty damn great if you ask me. He is a constant threat to break a big run so the opposing D can't relax with him on the field.



It's true that RB is probably one of the 'easiest' positions for a player to make the transition from college to the pros; but a college kid doesn't guarantee you the kind of consistency that Alexander has for them the past few years. He is getting older, but with that line, he doesn't seem to be slowing down.
