"Gordon should make an immediate impact as a runner while an NFL rookie. He has three-down potential as he has shown improvement as a receiver throughout his junior year. Gordon is a rare physical talent with good size and elite speed. After a great junior season, he is worthy of being a first-round pick and feature back in the NFL." - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com

 "I think the sky’s the limit just because he’s so explosive. He’s so instinctive. His production speaks for itself. You’ll get to see at the combine, just in terms of what his build is. Let’s face it, in the NFL at running back, that’s pretty important. There’s been some late first round talk, and for a running back nowadays that’s like top 10. Four years ago, he would have went top 10." - Martin Rickman, SportsIllustrated.com

Projected NFL Draft Pick: Late 1st - Early 2nd
