Tennessee has the only SEC running back who ran for 2,000 yards in a single NFL season.

You are confusing Henry with Jamal, but Henry was also a better NFL running back than Brown or Williams so I have no problem with you mentioning him.
You only have to go back 5 years for there to be 4 NFL teams with Vols as their starting running back. Houston, Stevens, Henry, and Lewis.

I mean...me picking UGA is bias...but how is Walker > Bo...me being Bias?
If you ask this question to a lot of people, most will say Walker > Bo.

Any stat hounds out there care to do a comparison?
btw-going with Auburn on this one. Tenn? Like Bama and UGA, over certain periods of time, yes...going all the way back and certainly over the last 30 years, it's been AU. And whoever said "maybe in the past but not in the future" didn't notice that we have Dyer and are likely to add either Lattimore or Lache. I would say that the future looks pretty damn good for AU in this regard. It looks pretty good for Bama too over the next couple of years. Ingram + a seasoned Richardson is crazy scary.

Bo shared carries with other future NFL running backs while at Auburn and the truth is, he played on worse teams than herschel did with the exception being 1983......
Bo was a freak and there has never been anybody like him and I don't think that because I'm an Auburn guy.....he would have been the same freak regardless of where he played college ball.
Herschel was good but I have always thought 1A Bo, 1B Herschel

This won't help your argument.

Arkansas claims this decade 
Overall though, probably Auburn.

Best NFL-wise has to go to UF. Emmitt Smith is a given, but people forget how good Fred Taylor has been. Both are in the top 15 in Career NFL rushing and were dominant in college.

I believe that Walker is top5 or top 10 in all purpose yards in the NFL and that was after giving up a few of his best pro years to the USFL.
UGA has had a very large number of backs that didn't come into their own until they hit the NFL, an dthey too have had a number of lesser lights in college that ended up with productive NFL careers.
If anyone wants to really get into the number of RBs from each school that did OK in the NFL, I am guessing that UGA and AU would be close and far beyond anyone else in the SEC.
