Leonard Fournette also played the last decade. I wonder where he ranked?

Wasn’t even considered or in the top 300 RBs of the decade.

Fournette was the best running back the league has ever seen since Bo Jackson and I would take Lenny every time over Bo!

Right LSU fans?

No, but he was one of the best. Miles didn't do him any favors running him into a stacked box for most of his career.

Are you off the wagon?

Following Henry, Harper ranked Nick Chubb and Najee Harris at second and third respectively. This trio has displayed exceptional skill and consistency, setting them apart in a conference known for its competitive spirit and athletic prowess.

The rest of Harper’s top ten includes a mix of talent from various schools, contributory to the SEC’s reputation for nurturing football excellence. Leonard Fournette, Quinshon Judkins, Benny Snell Jr., Isaiah Spiller, Kerryon Johnson, Alex Collins, and Ralph Webb complete the list, each having left an indelible mark on their respective programs.


So basically:
1. Derrick Henry
2. Nick Chubb
3. Najee Harris
4. Leonard Fournette
5. Quinshon Judkins
6. Benny Snell Jr.
7. Isaiah Spiller
8. Kerryon Johnson
9. Alex Collins
10. Ralph Webb

I love Najee; he's one of my favorite players ever at Alabama (leaping over a Notre Dame player will do that) but I don't think he was better than LF. Fournette's biggest sin, really, was getting shutdown by Alabama (when most people did) and having his best season opposite of Derrick Henry breaking records.

Nick Chubb is interesting. I dunno if I'd rate him #2 but top 5 feels right.

I almost get the impression that some of these are influenced by their pro careers.

I remember Swamptards repeating this lie ad nauseum after the 2015 Bama game even after it was shown to them time after time that Bama didn’t “stack the box”. Only LSU fans would bitch about having a ground-centric offense with a generational talent at RB. What kind of offense did you expect Miles to feature with Fournette in the backfield?

When Alabama played Georgia, I wasn't really concerned with Chubb in the game. The other RB where more dangerous to Alabama, Chubb was too slow to be a real threat.

Yes, I know Chubb had a long TD run against Alabama in 2015 when the game was already over.

It might surprise you to hear this, but Alabama isn't the only team we played on an annual basis.

Has the second most rushing yards in the SEC while having a devastating injury his sophomore year while averaging 8.1 yards per carry and having to share the rock with two first round picks. He's either #1 or #2.

4769 yards on 758 carries (6.3 per carry), 44TDs.

This done while sharing carries with Michel (591 carries for 3638 yards and 33TDs).

You had 9 of 11 starters on the field. He still broke that long run and had 150 yards.
