That is the main reason good teams will not draft a RB in the first round anymore. Those backs that split their time have not proven themself able to complete a 16 games season with any production. Most of the names listed in the article with exception of Ricky Williams, have been a bust at the NFL level.

Most NFL teams are doing the same thing with sharing the workload. That's a high-impact, short-career position.
