The Indiana Hoosiers aren’t exactly an elite program out of the Big Ten, but they have produced some solid NFL players over the years. Recently, they have produced a pair of promising young running backs in Jordan Howard and Tevin Coleman.

Both of those guys can thank offensive guard Dan Feeney for opening up rushing lanes for them.

Feeney has missed a lot of time this season with a concussion, but when he’s on the field, the IU guard is as dominant as they come. Not only does he pave the way for his running backs, but he rarely allows pressure on his quarterback.

Offensive guard isn’t the sexiest position, but Feeney is a guy who could wind up getting drafted earlier than you’d expect.
