BenJarvus Green-Ellis - RB - New England Patriots

Spurred on by The Number, BenJarvus Green-Ellis has moved from being an undrafted free agent to the starting running back for the New England Patriots (sort of a mixed blessing).

BenJarvus was signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent on May 2, 2008 after a stellar career at the University of Mississippi. As a senior in 2007, he became only the second Mississippi running back to reach the 1,000 yard single season mark twice in his career, gaining 1,137 yards rushing. He was born on July 2,1985 and attended St. Augustine High School in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Seen above, Green-Ellis runs against the New York Giants in a 2008 preseason rematch of Super Bowl XLIII. Green-Ellis ran for 28 yard on 6 carries for the Patriots to help them complete their winless preseason.
