once an elite RB prospect, now a former WVU back with proven production
Rushel Shell III was a highly touted recruit — ranked No. 3 among running backs and No. 26 overall on the ESPNU 150 — and later produced at West Virginia with 2,010 rushing yards, 20 rushing touchdowns, and 341 receiving yards, showing the kind of downhill, versatile back profile that can help a team if the fit and role are right.[4][7] He is best known for his physical running style and all-purpose value, but his college career also carried the usual RB wear-and-tear risk that comes with a heavy workload.[1][7]
