Top 10 SEC RB's Ever

Who's the GOAT?
Edited: George Rogers did not play in the SEC, my bad.
Also I'm keeping Henry over McFadden, the man put Bama on his back in November and mowed down the SEC, gotta count for something. Also the ONLY back to ever touch 2000 Yards in the SEC, the man deserves respect.
1. Herschel Walker - Numbers don't lie.
2. Bo Jackson - Maybe the greatest athlete of all time.
3. Derrick Henry - Most dominant single SEC season ever, shined in the biggest moments.
4. Darren McFadden - Two time heisman runner up. If he doesn't play with Felix Jones and Peyton Hills he likely goes over 2k Yards 2 years in a row.
5. Leonard Fournette - Led the nation in Yards per game with no passing game. Ran for the 2nd most yards in SEC history.
6. Todd Gurley - Absolute monster, if he doesn't get suspended his Junior year he likely pushes Bo for the #2 spot.
7. Mark Ingram - Can't argue with hardware.
8. Emmitt Smith - Nearly 4k Rushing yards and averaged over 5.5 ypc over his career.
9. Trent Richardson - His woes in the NFL are well documented but he was close to unstoppable at Bama.
10. Kevin Faulk - Averaged 1000+ yards and 10 TDs a season in the SEC. Filthy. Slight bump over Shaun Alexander due to better career numbers.
If you disagree then give me your list or eat a dick.

Herschel and Bo are still 1 and 2.

Not sure it gets them in the top 10 but Charlie Garner and Travis Stephens were awesome.

Looks good to me. LF probably goes to 3 after this year.

Carnell "Cadillac" Williams deserves on the list, IMO.

Fournette isn't top 5, yet. He likely will be after this year though. One could argue that McFadden was better than Henry as well. Finally, George Rogers didn't play in the SEC.

No list, and I'm not going to eat a dick (I'm still full from the one I had for breakfast, thanks.) Just a suggestion of no current players. An RB, or any player, for that matter, can still damage his legacy by having an awful season before he leaves the program.

Henry
Mr. Five and a half yards per carry?
Over guys like Gurley and McFadden?

If he would have had all 3 years who knows what could of been.
He. Was. Sick.

Fob James not in top 5?? List is shite.

Request the OP be a tad more specific. Career ever, single season ever, or misc eyeball test/talent/potential ever? =)

Doesn't count.
Now, if you want to do a list of the Top 10 Independent RBs ever...we can talk.

Meh, it's pretty clear who's #1 and #2,
the others on the list are all pretty awesome too but run closer together.

I have nightmares about Darren McFadden.
I put him at 3.
He was better than Henry, hands down.
