| FTBL Best RBs In the NFL

[Crtuneman]

ESPN put out their list of best RBs in the NFL and Josh Jacobs comes in at 3. But I'm not sure how Derrick Henry fell to 5th behind Christian Mccaffery and Saquon Barkley. The only knock against Henry is his age, but whatever. He's still a beast. Again it's an ESPN + article so I will summarize.


Best RBs in the NFL


1. Nick Chubb
2. Mccaffery
3. Jacobs
4. Barkley
5. Henry
6. Johnathan Taylor
7. Alvin Kamara
8. Dalvin Cook
9. Tony Pollard
10. Austin Ekeler


I can't believe Najee didn't make the top ten. He had a great season especially as a pass catcher.

How is Alvin Kamara on this list? Didn't he hit a woman?

Not a knock on these 2, but every time I hear anything about them on sports, it's an injury of some kind.

Really. DH not on top of list....

Mccaffery finally put in a whole season of work last year. Granted he made SF offense more dangerous, but he didn't get nearly the carries that the other backs did and he got far fewer yards. His strength is receiving.

Derrick Henry only needs one more 200 yard game to pass OJ and Adrian Peterson for most ever in the NFL and he’s 5 ?

 

[UAgrad93]

All in how they are used IMHO. I imagine the first 4 are all used more in their passing game, while DH is more the traditional 20-25 carry old school RB. Just glancing their stats, DH has something like 127 catches over his career with a career high 33 coming last year. All of the others have at least that many with McCaffery having 400+!!! None have the carries in a season like DH.

I'll take Henry and N. Harris all day long.

Hard to claim Kamara since he is tainted with vile orange but 3 out of 10 have ties to Bama. Should be 4 with Harris.

And najee will always be special for bama for coming back for the 2020 season...

And it paid off for both him and Bama.

ROLL TIDE!

I was thinking the same thing. McCaffrey is good, but he's a tin man. Waste of money when you can't count on him at any point of tge season due to whether or not he'll be available to play.

Never sold on Barkley either. Just not my cup pf tea.

Najee is a top 5 back

 

[bama alum]

Najee is a top 5 back

This Steelers' fan wholeheartedly agrees with you!

McCaffery is a diversity hire.
