      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.

      Nevermind, I have reading comprehension issues apparently.

      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.

      Dameon Hunter had great 2001. He just wasn’t around long enough to accumulate bigger career stats.

      Ty belongs on the list, and not because he died. Dude had over 700 yards of offense in 5 games as a freshman. 7 ypc as a freshman. 

      fude would have been the 🐐

      If this is in rank order, Eddie Johnson is way too low.  Same with Booker.
