Photos: 2013: USC vs. UCLA
Trojans tailback Javorius Allen, center, is swarmed by the UCLA defense during the fourth quarter of a game on Nov. 30, 2013.
(Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times)The tailback position isn’t as deep as it was in the 2015 draft, but the top shelf talent should provide the NFL at least half a dozen starters over the next two to three seasons. Elliott, who is a step down from Todd Gurley, will be the only first round selection in this batch. But talents like Notre Dame’s C.J. Promise, Indiana’s Jordan Howard, Alabama’s Kenyan Drake, UCLA’s Paul Perkins (pictured) and California’s Daniel Lasco should be available in the later rounds.
