The San Diego Chargers made Badgers running back Melvin Gordon the 15th pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night.

The team is being widely praised for picking the superstar back who ran for 2,587 yards last season which was the second highest total ever in FBS history. NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock had this to say per the NFL Network:

"You pair (Gordon) with (Danny) Woodhead, and you've got a perfect scenario, NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock said on NFL Network's draft coverage. He changes the whole balance of their offense now. Philip Rivers was everything. He takes the pressure off that. They run the football more efficiently, and Philip Rivers will get better."

Badgers fans have a new pro team to cheer for and will certainly be following the career of Melvin Gordon.
