None of them…

I think a lot of people forget (me included, until I watch highlights) how good he was in 2013.

I will never. To me he's the best rb of my lifetime (I was 9 in 04). And it's not even that close fr. Kerryon and Tank would be next but theres a decent sized gap between.

And if people don't have him in their 2010s mt rAUshmore I'd be skeptical if they even have a brain at all.

Kerryon and Tank would have likely been just as productive in that 2013 offense. RB's are very much dependent on the players and scheme around them, and that running offense in 2013 was absurd. Tre Mason doesn't do what he does without Greg Robinson, Jay Prosch, Nick Marshall, Reese Dismukes, etc. Robinson in particular put up a legendary run blocking season. In that one game vs. Missouri where Mason ran for 300 yards, I think they just ran the ball behind him on like 75% of the carries and he was pushing guys 5+ yards downfield. Jay Prosch was equally dominant by FB standards.

Tank Bigsby by comparison played in late-stage Gus Malzahn's offense (ie: no OL, and everyone in the country knew all the play-calls) and Bryan Harsin's talent depleted offense with TJ Finley at QB. If you see the runs that Tank is pulling off in the NFL, its really not hard to envision what he would look like in that 2013 offense.

Jack Leyrer the lineman from Stanford. I see he was hurt and sat out all of last year, probably hurt the grading in the portal. Played some OT but most of his latest starts at guard.

Definitely looks like they are trying to find linemen who can play both.
