10. Lattimore
9.hester
8.felix
7.ingram
6.richardson
5.cadillac
4.gurley
3.fournette
2.Dmac
1.henry
This was a super tough list. The top 5 are almost interchangeable especially top 4. I will say I think fournette dmac and Gurley were the most physically gifted tailbacks in the bunch but you've got to give Henry credit for his 2,000 yard season plus natty plus Heisman. He was an unstoppable force.

Agreed. Although Gurley was better than Fournette

it's too close to be so definitive IMO

Lattimore and not Chubb?

also, without any numbers and just eye test/memory, Felix should be higher

LOL at chubb not on the list.
Also knowshon has about an equal case to lattimore, in fact maybe even a better one considering he played 2 seasons instead of 3.

no. Doesn't even deserve a mention. 1780 yards and 20 TDs on his career, Tre Mason beat that in one season. Hester wouldn't even be top 10 since the turn of the century if the only other options were only AU RBs

best sec running back since the 80's

C'mon with the Jacob Hester stuff. A good servicable back but not top 10. Dude had a career that these other backs had in seasons.

We have to have more racial diversity on the list so Hester must be included sir
Posted on 7/10/18 at 12:32 pm to Hawgnsincebirth55
Anthony Dixon deserves to be on there somewhere

Dafuq is this shite?
Seriously, he has to go. Chubb will easily fill his spot. Hell, knowshawn or whatever or Ronnie Brown are easily better.

It’s also great that Chubb is second in all time yards, and better than at least 5 of the guys you listed in ypc and you still chose not to list him.

if hester was black nobody would remember him.

He was a gym rat, the first to get there and last to leave, had a non-stop motor, over-achiever, gave 110%.

Real coach-on-the-field type, very smart player. Kind of guy who always brought his lunch pail
