Best Running Backs

I will not call this a comprehensive and thorough going study of the greatest running backs in professional football history. This is merely my opinion since I have been watching active players and in the case of (Number 1) Jim Brown, highlight reels as I was too young to admire his on field exploits. I would have to rate the Syracuse fireball number one as he led a team to three titles and achieved records that still survive over a half century. To me, (2)Walter Payton comes in a close second, as he secured a Super Bowl title and was the heart of a Chicago team that often otherwise was not very good. I rate (3) Emmitt Smith at number three, equivalent to the championships he helped earn, on a Cowboys' team that dominated an era. LaDainian Tomlinson (4) was another outstanding back on mediocre teams, who achieved several records without much help. Marshall Faulk (5) was amazing as well. Earl Campbell (6) was a wrecking ball of a running back. Eric Dickerson (7) gobbled up lots of yards and made some breathtaking runs for the Rams. Barry Sanders (8) was the one highlight of some awful Lions' squads, but to me was moving backwards too much trying to break big plays, sometimes resulting in a large and unnecessary loss of yards, where other backs would have gotten what they could and avoided a negative play. Franco Harris (9) was the critical offensive component of those Steelers' championship teams. Derrick "King" Henry (10) is the only active runner on this list, and the only one I have had the privilege of seeing play in person. I am saddened that this powerhouse who may ultimately be the greatest of the greats left my hometown Titans.
