Deuce was pretty good.
Naturally you're talking McAllister but the original deuce, double-deuce Duce Staley, was as well with both the Eagles and Steelers.

No mention of Arian Foster in this thread? Tate isn't the best SEC RB in his own backfield.
Probably best RB tandem in league and both from the SEC. Hard to get both enough touches.

Moreno is starting to come on strong. But year G Hurst and T Davis were pretty good RBs from uga. If Crowell gets his head on right, he will be a starter in teh NFL, and you can go ahead and book gurley as not being a bust in the nfl. Guy with that size, power and speed will do well in teh nfl.

BJGE though he hasn't been an all-star has been solid.
Reaching a bit, but Terrell Davis and Jamal Lewis had good careers.

Tennessee has prob had more success than anybody in SEC recently. Jamal Lewis was one of best in NFL for a few years, Travis Henry had his moments when he would take over games, and Arian Foster is one of elite backs now. Plus we've had some other guys have limited success.

Lets just say Bama RBs suck in the NFL...
TR - Almost 1000 yards, and 51 receptions on top of that for another 360+.
While on the BROWNS. Basically 1/3 of their plays went to TR, and that doesn't include plays where he was blocking.

Not that I am saying TR will be a bad pro but I'm pretty sure almost every RB in the NFL could probably get 1000 yards on 270 carries.

Carnell Williams would have been great had his knees not been destroyed multiple times. Brown hurt his knee as well.
I had no doubts that Ingram would be mediocre. I think Richardson can be a top 15 RB for a few years, but he will succumb to injury after four years or so.

3 ypc while being part of 30% Offensive play will not cut it. The problem with bama RBs is that they are slow to the LOS. This worked at the college level because their OL opened big holes slowly. These backs would almost sit until the holes opened up. In the Pro's that results in contact one yard before the LOS.

I bet money you really feel this way too. I admire your honesty.
