My Top 5 RB's...

Let's dive right in. Love that running backs need no flashy intro the position speaks for itself.

Arian Foster hands down is the best in football at the all around game. He's a triple threat. Receiving, and either avoiding tackles or goin through them he gets it done. Led the league a year ago and missed time this year Ans still finished in the top 5. Can't wait to see hoe he plays after his extension. Doesn't seem like the type to let money get in the way of his playing.

Second is Maurice Jones-Drew. Cat's a beast. Best contact runner in the game and I believe he works the hardest for his yards considering he's the teams only weapon week to.week. He led the league in rushing last year and would be number 1 on my list if not for the fact that I see Foster as a much better receiving threat.

Number 3 is Adrian Peterson. Yes he's the most feared, Ans most respected RB in football his injury coupled with his early fumble problems lands him third on my list. It's very possible he climbs to #1 by the end of the year he's that talented. But the Vikings building around Ponder doesn't bode well for the former phenom. Kind of in a bad position. If he gets out of Minnesota he has a chance to play for something besides rushing titles.

Next up is Frank Gore. Always the professional Gore has been the backbone of the 49ers offense for nearly a decade. From playing for nothing to almost making it to.a Super Bowl in consecutive years. Last year he became the all time leading rusher for a franchise full of greats. Nothing like knowing at the least you're a hall of famer in the end regardless of super bowls.

Number 5 has in the last 4 years had double digit TD's 3 of those 4 years he also rushed for over 1200 yards and over 1600 for 1. Michael Turner lady's and gentleman is a machine. Since arriving in Atlanta he's done nothing but deliver and is making life miserable for all LB's in the NFC South. On some plays it's unbelievable what he does seeing hoe big he is running out on the field. Reminds be a lot of Jerome Bettis with their uncanny ability to be able to make contact and run through it.
