MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Malcolm Cyrus fell just short of achieving the second half of his "15-and-15" goal, but proved to be one of best running backs in college football as he rushed for 1,662 yards and 12 touchdowns last season.
"I was close," Cyrus said with a laugh.
Now the former Alabama State star is looking to achieve his ultimate goal — to play in the NFL.
"All I want is a foot in the door, an opportunity," Cyrus said.
Before the 2014 season, Cyrus set a goal to rush for 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns. He didn't score 15 times, but earned SWAC co-offensive player of the year honors. Cyrus rushed for 466 yards more than second-leading rusher Lenard Tillery — and played in one less game than the Southern sophomore.
Cyrus doesn't expect to get drafted, but if he's invited to an NFL camp, he plans to play on Sundays.
