Alright, I will start it off. NFL - You have the ball, it is 4th down and 4 yards to go. Your qb is out and it is 15 degrees with a 20mph wind. You HAVE to run the ball! Of the current running backs on NFL rosters (doesn't matter if they are currently injured - pretend everyone is full strength) what are the top 5 backs you'd give the hand-off to? Running quarterbacks don't count. 5. Adrian Peterson
4. Ezekiel Elliott - could be higher but, that Dallas O-line
is a monster and I'd need to see him behind a real O-line
3. DeMarco Murray
2. Jonathan Stewart
1. Levon Bell Bell is one of the greatest block followers I've ever seen. The only one I've seen better is Ricky Williams and that's only because Ricky did it quicker and hit the hole immediately. I've never seen anyone take as long as Bell to decide where to go and then constantly be successful at it. He WILL get the 4 yards! And why did I include Stewart? Am I a homer... maybe but when he's healthy he is a beast and he's doing everything he's doing behind a 3rd string O-line... and because (see video) |

Fully expecting run definitely changes things up a bit with who I'd pick.
Honorable mentions: Jordan Howard, DeMarco Murray, Devonta Freeman, Jonathan Stewart, Ezekiel Elliott, Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson
5) Jay Ajayi (Early to say, I know. But holy crap he's had some excellent showings this year)
4) David Johnson (not afraid to power through the hole)
3) C.J. Anderson (could be higher, given this current Denver line is one of the worst I've ever seen)
2) Derrick Henry (guy is a beast. He won't go down easy, ever)
1) Le'Veon Bell (no argument there. Barry Sanders lite)
AP didn't make it, but two years ago he'd make this list.

Yeah, I'd only put a fully healthy AP in there... and I'd not do it with the Vikings line... yuk.
Terrell Davis would have been a good choice back in the day also!

Knowshon in 2013 would've made this list. Sucks we only got that one great year out of him.
