No. 3: Rodney Stewart

People forget about this guy, maybe because of his small stature, but he was incredibly productive at CU. He currently ranks No. 2 in school history with 3,552 yards rushing. He also scored 25 touchdowns while playing in 43 career games.

What Stewart lacked in size, he made up for in speed. He was also a good receiver. The Buffs had a record of 16-33 during Stewart’s time at the school, which included two different head coaches. Alas, it’s easy to lose sight of just how good this player was.

Stewart was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cincinnati Bengals following the 2012 NFL draft, but tore his ACL on the first day of training camp. His NFL career ended right then and there.
