Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, #21, (2003-2005)

Though he only played two seasons as the lead back for UCLA Football, MJD finds himself near the top of a number of UCLA rushing categories. In his breakout sophomore season, Jones-Drew ran for over 1,000 yards and 11 total touchdowns.

In the same season, he added a 322 yard, five touchdown performance against Washington, both UCLA records for a single game.

In his final season, MJD scored 17 touchdowns from scrimmage and added three punt return touchdowns and had an average of 28.5 yards per return.

Jones-Drew earned Consensus All-American honors in 2005 and was a second round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He went on the three Pro-Bowls in the NFL also earning first team All-Pro honors twice.
