Rawls exploded onto the season when he got the opportunity. With the retirement of Marshawn Lynch, it was of the upmost importance Rawls gets back to the team soon. Rawls had a strange path to the NFL after playing in limitted time for the Michigan Wolverines Rawls decided to move on when he transfered to Central Michigan.
