5.Eric Dickerson Rams/SMU
6.Adrian Peterson Vikings/Oklahoma

20.Thurman Thomas Bills/Oklahoma State....kept Barry on the bench

A few there were fullbacks like Jim Brown


Honorable mention

Franco Harris
Joe 'Jet" Perry
Terrell Davis
Herschel Walker...if we took his HS/Georgia/USFL/NFL yards he might have more than everyone
Saqoun Barkley
Marion Motley
Leroy Kelly.....Jim Brown retires so they plug in this punt returner, Hall of Fame career

So, what would you change?

So

Obviously I like RB;s I played the position in high school.

But........I don't use a first round pick on any RB. there are just too many of them that can average 4 yards a carry, which is all you need. As we know a stud back puts you in third and short, so.....run? pass? meaning no ........rush the QB he must throw.

Looking like Jeanty will go in round one....Bears?
 
No Skattebo despite being one of the few RB's in college history to run for 1500 and catch for 500 in a season? Racism. I'm coming at you with FACTS. You can't deny Skattebo is one of the GOATs

Get serious

He only averaged 5.5 a carry vs NCAA competition. I was talking NFL competion, assumed that was very obvious. Everyone on my list was a stud/star in college.

Not possesing game breaking jets that GRRRRRRRR style he has wi not last long banging into NFL caliber athletes. I have read 4,5 o 4.6 40, either way he;s not a burner, he's more John Riggins but not as fast, Riggins a 9,8 sprinter.

I can see a second rounder, no way in hell he's a first rounder.

You mentioned.....racism.

Top 10 White Runining Backs

1.John Riggins Redskins/Kansas....twice Kansas HS 100champ, 9.8 old 100 yard dash.
2.Steve Van Buren Eagles/LSU....total package, big and fast
3.Jim Taylor Packers/LSU...once led the NFL in rushing, yep, more yards than Jim Brown
4.Hugh "King" McElhenny Niners/Washington....a Cali State hurdles champ, very elusive
5.Larry Csonka Dolphins/Syracuse.....the Thunder to Mercury Morris Lightning
6.Christian McCaffrey Panthers/Stanford.....his granddad is Dave Sime 1960 Olympic 100m silver
7.The Galloping Ghost Red Grange Illinois/Bears....first big star in the NFL
8 Keith Lincoln Chargers/WSU....Scored rushing, receiving. passing, ko return, punt return, FG, X point
9, Frank Gifford Giants/USC....the best runner/receiving white cat
10.Bronko Nagurski Bears/Minnesota....NWA rasslin' champion

Probably taking Faulk over Dickerson. Fight me irl ;)
 
His highlight video is cool, BUT.......he only averaged 3.7 a carry, only had one season ageraging over 4, and that was 4.1.
Remember that Bucs O-Line? Yeah me neither.

He's definitely best Bucs back ever. LOL @ calling Wilder.

But, take this as a grain of salt. I agree with 99% of what I see you post about the NFL.

Thank you.

It is close, Wilder with a 3.8 average, Wilder had more yards, a couple 1000 yard seasons something Alstott never had.

Close~~~~~~~~
 
Being a track fan

Running backs 100m

lane

1.Houston McTear 9.0 WR Baker HS, averraged 13 yards a carry
2,Curtis Dickey Colts/Tex A&M 10.10
3,Tyreek Hill Oklahoma State 10.19HS
4,Bob Hayes Florida A&M 10.06 Olympic gold
5.Trindon Holliday LSU 10.00
6.Andrew Hopkins SFA 9,2 CFLer
7.Herschel Walker Cowboys/Georgia 10.23
8.Travis Williams Packers/ASU 9.3 Great kick returner

So where is Bo Jackson? Bo toyed with track, his times suffere because of his ho hum attitude. Only a 9.5/10.39 which won't work. Forget that 4.1 40 that never happened and a 40 takes no "speed endurance" that is 100m.

6. Give me five RB we have seen in the movies?

8.College QB who became a1000 yarder RB?

9.RB who had a book writen about him?
