Law compiled 597 yards on 64 rushes and often flashed greatness with his cuts and ability to make people miss. He scored three touchdowns on the ground and another through the air, but played just seven games — including two where he recorded six or less touches.
However, in those seven games, Law eclipsed 100 yards four times.
That type of production certainly had him on college football radars across the country, but Law was suspended for the final two games of the 2015 season for his role in an on-field fight. He ultimately signed with the University of Alabama at Birmingham following his lone season on the Netflix docu-series.
