on a side note..it seems that both Moreno and Gurley weren't that highly touted and both were/are fantastic RBs


Kind of baffling isn't it? I know there are many great running backs that weren't as highly sought after as others, but its shocking that two of our best backs of this decade were guys who basically fell into our laps and were guys we weren't really counting on as being great players coming in.

Both of them were top 100 players (Gurley got ranked highly late in the process). I think a lot of it has to do with where they're from. Georgia fans tend to gravitate to the players from Georgia and give less attention to out of state players. That's natural I suppose, but you kind of see I happening again with Chubb and Michel
