Bio
Coming out of Callaway High School in Georgia, Tank was a 5 star recruit. Obviously very hyped out of high school expectations were sky high. He really made a splash his freshman season averaging 6.0 YPC and people were all aboard the Tank train. A certain Bijan Robinson since took his shadow and well deserved. Throughout his three seasons at Auburn he amassed 540 carries for 2903 yards and 25 touchdowns on the ground. He also added 62 catches for 446 yards with 0 touchdowns.

Draft Projection: Fourth Round
Bottom Line:
Tank Bigbsy was the next best thing during his freshman season and in a way I’m happy the hype died off. Remember, the player didn’t change just the hype did. Tank continued to show he has what it takes to be a contributor at the next level despite eyes falling to other prizes. Overall Tank is a powerful runner with great patience and burst once he picks his hole. Tank was also surprisingly fluid in the pass game and it shows as he improved his reception totals each season. He has a really well balanced skill set and should fit into an NFL offense very nicely. I expect Tank to be 3rd-4th round pick and I would feel comfortable taking him starting in the back end of first round in rookie drafts.
