I'll play.

1. Trent Richardson
2. Shaun Alexander
3. Mark Ingram
4. Siran Stacy
5. Sherman Williams
6. Eddie Lacy
7. Derrick Lassic
8. Shaud Williams
9. Glenn Coffee
10. Dennis Riddle

Note: Did not add Yeldon because he is still playing, but he could possibly be the GOAT before he is done. Other than Ingrams Heisman year, he was really pretty average. I think Coffee could have had a monster career had he bought in sooner. My #10 was between Dennis Riddle and Santonio Beard.

You could almost put Alexander #1. I do think Trent probably has to be first because of his accomplishments, though. Two rings. But Alexandar did some pretty magical things--while playing for Mike Freakin' DuBose.

1) Richardson
2) Alexander
3) Ingram
4) Lacy
5) Lassic
6) Sherman
7) Shaud Williams
8) Coffee

I'm going to stop there. My memories of Stacy and Darby are of injury. Especially Darby, who thought if the danced around behind the line long enough something magical would happen.

And unlike with all the others, I don't remember magical "Dennis Riddle" moments.

Itd be silly to try to rank Yeldon right now. Putting him at 7 or 5 etc doesnt do him justice because we dont know just how good he is right now. Heck he could end up being #1.


This is very true. My other reason for not ranking Yeldon right now is that I'm not at all sure about his ball security. I think putting the ball on the ground automatically drops you 2 or more places.
