The FBS second-leading rusher in 2014 has inked a Standard Representation Agreement.  Indiana running back Tevin Coleman recently signed with NFLPA Certified Contract Advisor, Adisa Bakari, per SportsBusiness Journal.

Coleman finished this past season with 2,036 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns.  He ranked only behind Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon, who had 2,336 yards on the ground.  In his three years as a Hoosier, Coleman tallied 3,200-plus rushing yards and 28 touchdowns.
