Best RBs in NFL history. Some ommissions but a pretty good list:
2 Cowboys
2 Troojies
1 DWAG!
0 Ducks
0 Bucks
3 CANES!2 Gators
1 Bear
1 Longhorn (but what a great one)
1 Mustang (but what a great one)
0 Bamers (not surprising)
The Cane who truly has been lost to history is OJ Anderson. Dude was a beast. You have to be old to care -
@RaceBannon - NFL ROTY, great pro stats, etc. You just don't see really big dudes like that at the RB position anymore.
Anyway, for my money, the best I've ever seen do it is Dick. Guy was a natural freak of an athlete. Fast af, power, balance, vision ... all of it. A joy to watch. Had a poster of sweetness in my room as a boy, but Jackson State isn't sneaking into this convo.
They also make a good poont about Fred Taylor, and how it is he was only ever voted to 1 Pro Bowl and 0 All Pros. Whatever. If he'd have been a Cane I'd care.

@MikeSeaver might also have somethign to say about this.
OJ was the Cardinal who ended up winning the Super Bowl for the 1990 Giants is he not? Buffalo could not stop him or contain him
I assume Hugh Mcelvanny whatever is the DAWG
Chuck Muncie the BEAR?
Nope, I expected to see Muncie but it was Marshawn. And the DWAG was Dillon. I don't know Hugh's pro stats off the top of my head, but Dillon had a very good pro career. Another of a dying/dead breed of really big and strong dudes who gave more than they took.
At one point he had the single game record.
Sounds like Cal should have had two. Can't argue lynch but Chuck Muncie was superman
RBU biaaatches!!!
