While there may be a few mild surprises here, and a few lesser-knowns from the 50's & 60's, this is largely a straightforward list of some very talented and reasonably durable RBs. Hope you enjoy. Try the Passing & Receiving versions, too.

Awesome indeed. Amazingly, 'Sweetness' only played 5 years in the '70s. Even more amazingly, Brown only played 3 years in the '50s. THREE YEARS! And only 9 seasons total.

If you're curious about the old-timers, do a YouTube search for Hugh McElhenny. One of the most exciting running backs from any era. That guy could cut on a dime.

Pretty interesting Tobin Rote makes both the running AND passing lists.

Very nice catch, statephone. He is unique in that regard. And to think I first knew of him because of his cousin's son, Kyle Rote Jr, an American soccer player who excelled on the ABC Sports entertainment/competition 'Superstars' in the 1970's!
