Minnesota’s classic home-run back with proven Big Ten production
In the 2000 and 2001 seasons, Tellis Redmon topped 1,000 rushing yards in back-to-back years and finished his Minnesota career with 2,235 rushing yards, 13 rushing touchdowns, and 401 receiving yards, giving him real dual-threat value. He was described by draft scouting as a 5-11, 210-pound back with solid speed and enough burst to pressure defenses, and older coverage praised him as the offense’s bright spot with consistent 100-yard games. If you want a physical, versatile RB who can carry volume and add receiving juice, Redmon absolutely fits the bill.
