Re-Drafting the Running Backs From the 2008 NFL Draft Using Advanced Analytics
3. Ray Rice
CarAV: 64
Despite an altercation with his girlfriend that abruptly ended his six-year career in the NFL, Ray Rice was a successful running back in his time on the field. And with three Pro Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl title, he more than justified his second-round selection.
Through his years with the Ravens, Rice tallied 6,180 yards, 37 rushing touchdowns and 43 total touchdowns in 80 starts and 92 games. Rice had 2,041 total yards from scrimmage along with 8 touchdowns and a personal-best AV of 18 in 2009 alone.
For three more seasons, Rice posted an AV of 13 or greater. After that, though, Rice finished his sixth season with an AV of 4 in 15 games.
