Javon Ringer, RB, Michigan StateMeasurables:
Combine height: 5-9 1/8
Combine weight: 205 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.59 seconds

Stats:
Ringer carried 390 times for 1,743 yards (4.5 yards per carry) and 22 touchdowns as a senior at Michigan State. He added 28 receptions for 190 yards. For his career, Ringer carried 843 times for 4,654 yards (5.5 yards per carry) and 34 touchdowns, with 96 receptions for 719 yards and a touchdown through the air.

Skill Set:
Ringer is shorter than preferable for an NFL back, but he uses his diminutive stature and low center of gravity to his advantage. He is adept at sliding in behind his blocking, then bursting through the hole when it opens. Ringer keeps his legs churning and breaks arm tackles, picking up yardage after initial contact. Though he’s not particularly elusive, Ringer has good feet and is effective at making one cut and turning upfield—though in the past he’s been prone to lowering his head in anticipation of contact and missing an opportunity to run to daylight.
