Top 10 NFL Draft Eligible Running Backs
by TJ Ford
Let me be the first to say that if this draft class were to be drafted ten years ago, the rankings would be much different. The running back position has changed markedly in the NFL. Most teams employ two to three backs and non-traditional body types are making big impacts due to speed and athleticism. Runners like Jamaal Charles, Felix Jones and Chris Johnson as well as pass catchers out of the backfield like Reggie Bush and Brian Westbrook are performing well and becoming more valuable commodities than their traditional gimmick status would have otherwise.
An interesting thing to watch in this draft is how teams address the running back position. There are probably more talented big backs (230+ lbs) in this year’s draft than most years and I foresee many teams looking for home run hitters.
