5. Brandon Jacobs

CarAV: 36

As a big 6'4", 250-pound power back, Brandon Jacobs rounds out the bottom half of the '05 running back class. And that's quite impressive given Jacobs' place in the draft compared to the three who have come before him.

The former fourth-round pick last nine seasons with two different teams, totaling 5,094 rushing yards and 60 touchdowns while toting the rock. He also won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants

Undoubtedly, 2007 and 2008 were the two best years of Jacobs' career. In both years with New York, he earned an AV of 9 with over 1,000 rushing yards and exactly 5.0 yards per carry.
