We have had a lot of very good running backs over the years. Here is my list:
1. Moss (We all know what he did.)
2. Carl Monroe (His 1982 season was epic. If I remember right – he led the nation in all-purpose yards.)
The rest in no particular order
John White
Popcorn Rodgers
Jamal Anderson
Mike Anderson
Eddie Johnson
Joe Williams
Asiata
Chris F. (Can’t remember how to spell his last name.)
Devonte Booker
I am sure I am missing other good ones, but these are the ones that come to mind.
All are good but Monroe’s last season was an amazing one to watch with the return game mixed in. The year prior when Rodgers was primary back was the best 1,2 punch Utah has ever had.
Carl caught almost no passes all year but then caught the opening TD in the Superbowl.
A year or two later during the stirke, Carl along with Mark Stevens and Popcorn Rodgers played for the 49ers as replacements on Monday Night Football and lit things up.
