Devwah Whaley is going to lead the SEC in rushing.

Aeris Williams is outside the top ten right now but he is a dark horse to be one of the best RB's in the SEC provided he stays injury free and Fitz has a big year.

I think they can be similar to Dak/JRob in 2014 this year.

How could you possibly justify that?.. dude had like 700 yards and 4 TD. He hasn't even broken 1000 on his career yet.


It's always frustrating when someone just looks at quick stats and not the whole story.

The guy only started getting the ball late in the season. He was touted as a bigtime RB but for some reason Mullen kept Holloway as the guy which even had MSU fans scratching their head.

Late in the season he made the switch to Aeris Williams and he rushed for over 700 yards. This is how MSU got the run game going.

Another overrated Bama RB not as good as his AU counterpart...

The current situation in the Jacksonville Jaguars backfield is the perfect example. TJ Yeldon was a high draft pick expected to do well. Has been a monster bust so far. Barely broken 1000 yards and only 3 rushing TD and is about to get cut from the team before his 3rd season even starts... meanwhile Corey Grant was an hugely underrated UDFA and just keeps proving himself. Grant will more than likely solidify the backup spot behind Fournette (even though he performed better than Fournette last night) and the starting KR spot, while Yeldon, another Bama bust is waiting in line at the unemployment office.

I really don't understand why it's so hard for so many fans to understand this. 2014/2015 Chubb is one of the best backs in the country, but he still has to prove he's "back" after that injury. 2016 was not a good year for him.


Part of his struggle was it takes a full year to get past that type of injury. Add to that we had a pretty poor OL and it just adds up to trouble. Our OL should be improved, and Chubb should be back this year, so i think we will see a big improvement.....but until we see that improvement it is all opinion and guessing.

No way Whaley should be on this list over Trayveon Williams who ran for over 1000 yards.
