Curious

I have them

Henry
Lacy
Ingram
Richardson


Yeldon

Richardson was a great college back, I think sucking at the pro level is held against him. He doesn't have the truck sized holes and wide hash marks. Dude is an athlete with moves, just can't get to the 2nd level in the pros

3) Trent
4) Henry
5) Yeldon

If it were the college level alone, I would have said (seriously):

1. Richardson
2. Ingram
3. Henry
4. Lacy
5. Yeldon

But after seeing them in the NFL, where they would easily rank Lacy then Ingram then Richardson, it's hard to feel good about my perspective now. I just don't know anymore.

Tough, but using only their performance in college I'd say:

Richardson: Him sucking in the NFL still baffles me.
Henry: Gets credit for carrying a heavier load than any of the other on the list
Lacy: If he was the man for more than one season, he may have been at the top of the list
Ingram:
Yeldon: I would have him over Ingram if he didn't have fumble issues.

Not a Bama fan, but Ingram is the most complete back if you ask me. I've hated on him hard as a Saints fan because he started out so poor and I loathe taking RBs in the first round, but he can pass block and catch out of the backfield which is a tremendous complement to what the Saints do. I thought his success in college was almost purely a function of his ridiculous OL but he was very good.

I'm not thinking performance so much as which back is just flat out better even if that back only had one snap

However at his best I think Lacy is better than all of them.

When healthy, Lacy was unstoppable.

And trimmer

Lacy hits the hole hard, as does Ingram. Trent always danced around, but in college you can do that

Henry is so fluid and patient even when he's 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage.


Lacy with a full head of steam though is almost unstoppable

I could tell you to watch the Ole Miss run or the Auburn run to justify TR at 1 on my list, but the best example is a 24 yard run in the game of the century where he runs over Sam Montgomery and through Eric Reid.
