Here are the ten most good running backs in football history; please let me know your thoughts. This write-up helps you know the best running backs of all time
- Jim Brown is number one.
12,312 rushing yards
Rushing yards per carrying: 5.2 Rushing touchdowns: 106
2,499 Receiving Yards
TD (received): 20
TD Passed: 3
Jim Brown is the not forgetting running back of all time, with all-around figures unheard of and an astounding rushing average of 5.2 yards per carrying, all in a short-cut career.
- Walter Payton, No. 2
16,726 rushing yards
AVG in Rushing: 4.4
110 rushing touchdowns
4,538 Receiving Yards
15 receiving touchdowns
Walter Payton was one of the best all-around running backs in NFL history. Payton merits the No. 2 slot on my list, as he excels at rushing and catching the ball.
- Sanders, Barry
15,269 rushing yards
AVERAGE RUSHING TIME: 5.0
99 rushing touchdowns
2,921 Receiving Yards
TD (received): 10
Watching Barry Sanders, the greatest gifted running back of all time, run was a thing of beauty. Although he spent most of his career on a terrible team, Sanders nonetheless put up some outstanding stats.
Some feel that Sanders could have become the greatest football player if he had been on a better team.
- Emmitt Smith (#4)
18,355 rushing yards
AVERAGE RUSHING TIME: 4.2
164 rushing touchdowns
3,224 Receiving Yards
TD:11
Emmitt Smith represents endurance and consistency in a position that has lacked both in recent years. Smith hammered his way to a record-breaking number of yards despite his diminutive physique of 5’9″ and 216 pounds. He wasn’t the flashiest player ever, but he was a workaholic unlike any other in history.
- LaDainian Tomlinson (#5)
10,650 rushing yards
AVERAGE RUSHING TIME: 4.5
rushing touchdowns: 115
3,375 Receiving Yards
TD (received): 14
TD Passed: 7
I chose Tomlinson’s most divisive choice on my list even though he is still in his prime.
Tomlinson has already eclipsed the bulk of running backs in both rushing and receiving statistics and demonstrating an unusual ability to deliver touchdown passes at an alarming rate.
Tomlinson may go down as the best running back in football history, barring injury or terrible luck shortly.
- Marshall Faulk, No. 6
12,279 rushing yards
Rushing yards per carrying: 4.3 Rushing touchdowns: 100
6,875 Receiving Yards
TD in the receiving game: 36
Faulk was, without a doubt, the most versatile running back of all time. Every time Faulk touched the ball, he posed a threat. with excellent speed, power, and receiving abilities like an all-pro wide receiver. As a result, he is deserving of a spot on the list.
- J. Simpson is number seven on the list.
11,236 rushing yards
Rushing Yards: 2,142 Receiving Yards: 4.7 Rushing TD: 61
TD (received): 14
When I watch O.J. Simpson, the most disgusting athlete of all time, I can’t help but think of a cold-blooded murderer.
- Bettis, Jerome
13,662 rushing yards
Rushing Yards: 1,449 Receiving Yards: 91 Rushing TD: 91
3 touchdowns in the receiving game
Jerome Bettis is the all-time best pure power back. Bettis smashed his way to many yardages and touchdowns with his 255-pound body, earning him a position on my list.
- Marcus Allen has 12,243 rushing yards.
AVG in Rushing: 4.1
rushing touchdowns: 123
5,411 Receiving Yards
TD (received): 21
It will be nearly hard to make money if you spread yourself too widely unless you enter hundreds of queues. I identify a few players I like and mix & match them into a small number of tournament lineups rather than playing cash games. My overall entry fee is significantly lower than a typical week during the regular season.
Marcus Allen was a well-rounded back who played the game at a high level for a long time. With that said, he deserves to be ranked No. 9 on my list.
- Eric Dickerson (#10)
13,259 rushing yards
AVG in Rushing: 4.4
90 rushing touchdowns
2,137 Receiving Yards
TD (received): 6
Another outstanding running back. In contrast, several backs were in contention for the final slot on my list.
