McFarlane Toys NFL Arizona Cardinals Sports Picks Series 23 Beanie Wells Action Figure

Chris "Beanie" Wells earned his nickname from an older brother who claimed little Chris was "skinny like a bean pole." The nickname stuck, even as the little brother filled out - first turning heads as the dominant running force for Akron's Garfield High School, averaging 9.76 yards-per-carry and scoring 69 rushing touchdowns while piling up 5,546 rushing yards. He graduated in 2005 as a Parade All-American, and immediately committed to The Ohio State University, fulfilling a childhood dream.
