Despite a rough upbringing, LaMichael James has given himself the reputation as one of the hardest working athletes in football. In high school, James was ranked 12th-best running back in the country and went on to be one of the best all-time running backs at the University of Oregon. LaMichael also showed his hard work in the classroom. Most recently, he was selected as 61st pick in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft, going to the San Francisco 49ers. SKLZ is proud to have James as our football Ambassador and looks forward to following his continued success as a pro.
