If you're searching for the running back who has had a stellar year it's likely to come across some names that come to mind. What do you think should be at most of them? Let's look at the elite running back list of the top players for every year. Before you read there are some points you need to be aware of. So, let's get started.
Of of course, this list isn't only based on a players' statistics however, it is an overview of the places they were picked during the NFL draft. Whatever the talent of running backs are but if he was selected following players such as DeAngelo Williams or Jamaal Charles were in the market but he won't be the same as their counterparts. Williams as well as Charles were both franchise players. So which one was the first to be selected all the way through?
It's clear that each athlete must achieve a remarkable NFL career. This includes being included on the NFL Hall of Fame list. What sets this list apart however, is that they were picked rather than being selected by the supporters. It's quite amazing to think that someone who did not get into the Hall of Fame can be thought of as one of the best running back of all time. Earl Jones was chosen first overall by the Dallas Cowboys in 2007.
The other four players picked in the first round to become Hall of Fame selections. Michael Vick was picked third overall by the Eagles in 2007. He's been an consistently excellent quarterback throughout his career and has even get close to perfecting his throwing techniques. He's also managed to accumulate more than 12 million yards of passing as well as six yards of rushing in the course of his NFL career.
Another outstanding running back to take into consideration as the greatest of all time. This is Jamaal Charles. He was traded to the team for one of the first and second-round selection during the 2006 draft, and was quickly honed into a potential All-Pro defensive back. He was picked first overall for two consecutive seasons and has become one of the top players on the field since. He hasn't missed an entire one due to injury and he's only improving.
The two other players who were selected prior to Jamaal Charles may be more worthy of this award. There's a the runner-up Adrian Peterson, who was picked as the first pick overall in the Saints in the year 2008. He is a great player, and is among the most talented running backs currently. Peterson has a tie for the most career receptions with EmmittSmith, and has one of the most effective running back teams on the market.
There is an additional player who deserves to be mentioned here, and that's another player on the Saints team, and his nickname is Drew Brees. Drew Brees is another great player, and is among the greatest running backs of all time. He was the first pick during each of his three seasons in the NFL and has not missed a single game because of an injuries. Similar to Peterson and Peterson, he has also earned himself the title of one of the top players ever. He holds 5 Super Bowl rings and is generally regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time.
Overall it appears that the debate continues about who is the best running back ever to play the game. As is typically the case for sports fans this argument will never be over. Which is the most effective and who was the most successful? This will be an open debate until the time of death. However, regardless of who gets considered the top in the final analysis, there is one thing that is certain and it is that both these athletes and other outstanding athletes, deserve the title.
