LF is the most talented back in the SEC of the last 20 years.

I'd take healthy Gurley and McFadden over him in a heartbeat.

I disagree. There's a reason he had a better season than both of them.

Gurley sucks. Adrian Peterson has played on some dog shite teams too.

Same with Barry Sanders. If you are all that you don't have one the worst full seasons by a running back ever.

He had a good start to his rookie year after an injury which is impressive but look at his last half of that year. Awful

Something smells more than everyone else around him. He needs to take some of that criticism himself too

I can give you ingram, but hes probably the poster boy for serviceable NFL running back

Eddie Lacy is probably the only decent NFL player on that list. With maybe an ingram

And an incomplete on Henry

yeah that's not a biased list at all. Hill over Henry? looooooooool




it's not in order though. although i do think hill was a better RB. Hill did rush for 6.90 ypc on 200+ carries in 2013.

Fun fact: Henry finished 98th out of 100 in YPC in 2015.. that's terrible

He also had almost 400 attempts. Most of the RBs in that ranking list probably had under 100 carries.

98th out of 100 what?

Henry was a 6 ypc rusher on over 600 carries. I see only 3 RBs in SEC history that have done that.

Mark Ingram isn't a bad NFL back. He's averaging right at 4.5 yards per carry for his career and just had over 1,000 yards rushing this year. His stats might be better if the scheme he played in his first few seasons with the Saints wasn't an air raid offense.

Dixon had better stats than Ingram's heisman trophy campaign. ALabama was just a better team.

Out of the 100 RBs mentioned (Henry #98th in yards per carry).. the lowest number of attempts was 155. It includes 53 RBs with more than 200 carries in 2015.

Your step daddy caught you flushing out of the cavity of your mothers' womb and named you douchefrick. At least try and represent your heritage...
