Ellington was considered one of the top rookies in the 2013 NFL Draft until he clocked a 40-yard dash time of 4.6 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine. The projected second-round pick dropped all the way to the sixth round.

The Arizona Cardinals selected Ellington with the 187th overall pick, and it didn't take long for Ellington to outperform Arizona's starting running back Rashard Mendenhall.

The rookie is currently averaging 6 yards per carry with 73 attempts, 443 yards and 2 touchdowns. He's also caught 28 receptions for 247 yards and 1 touchdown.
