Top-10 backs

Here are my favorite running backs. I really struggled with the choice of Alexander or Johnson, but I gave the nod to Alexander because Seattle plays San Francisco and St. Louis twice a year.

Portis owners must be sweating like Larry Allen in a sauna with his current status a mystery. These rankings are assuming Portis will be healthy.


1. Shaun Alexander
2. Larry Johnson
3. LaDanian Tomlinson
4. Clinton Portis
5. Tiki Barber
6. Edgerrin James
7. Steven Jackson
8. Ronnie Brown
9. Rudi Johnson
10. LaMont Jordan
