I didn't see an official thread for him so I figured I would make one, especially since I just acquired him in my dynasty.
He was extremely success at the Division II level, playing for Western State in Colorado and amassed some video game career stats. Measurables include 5' 9", 200# (most recently, previously listed as 195). His pro day stats include: 40 of 4.43, vertical of 40.5", a 10-8 broad jump, and a three cone of 6.85.

Was picked up by the Chargers as an UDFA. https://boltbeat.com/2017/07/01/chargers-undrafted-rookie-spotlight-austin-ekeler/
Was kept on the 53 man and played this past week. He subbed in and had one carry for 35 yards and a TD. He also had two catches for 23 yards.

There is certainly some opportunity in the Chargers backfield. I've never been a huge Gordon fan, and his knee seems to be bothering him as well. Additionally, Oliver doesn't look like anywhere near the player he was before tearing his Achilles.

I think there is certainly a Danny Woodhead role that Ekeler could fill on this team and possibly even more.
Thoughts?
