8. Stevan Ridley, Detroit Lions RB

Drafted in 2011, current Detroit Lion Steven Ridley makes No. 8 on the list.

Heading into his sixth season in the NFL, Ridley has seen time with both the New England Patriots and the New York Jets before landing in Detroit for the upcoming season. In his career, Ridley has racked up a total of 2,907 rushing yards, averaging 4.2 yards per carry. Ridley has also scored 22 touchdowns in his time with the two teams.

With the Lions’ leading rusher for last season (Ameer Abdullah) accumulating just 597 yards in 2015, we can expect Ridley to make a big impact on Detroit’s running game this season.

Next: No. 7 Brandon LaFell, WR
