Zurlon Tipton was a bruising, high-volume Chippewa workhorse with pro-level size and scoring punch
At Central Michigan, Zurlon Tipton stood out as a powerful, downhill RB who combined NFL-caliber size with proven production: he ran for 1,492 yards in 2013, the most by a Chippewa back in 16 years, and entered that season on a streak of seven straight 100-yard games with 19 rushing TDs the year before. The differentiator was workload durability and red-zone value, though his 2013 season was cut short by injury, which is the main concern for any team evaluating him as a fit.[1][4]
