Good list

[@city2city8]

Dalvin cook 🐐

[@sahilpatel5412]

Chubb outside the top 5 is criminal

[@brodyabel7300]

King Henry 👑

[@rockstardolla4541]

Yes d.cook

[@mrryan4295]

Blake Corum! Go Blue!

[@henrymuzgay1023]

there was a lot of studs from 2014 threw2017 that should of been the top 10 list

[@troylee4196]

Bring great RBs back I remember when that's all the Big 10 had, look at how far we've fallen smh

[@bamafan18]

Blake Corum is amazing. He was the unsung hero of that Michigan offense.

[@bradmontgomery4404]

King Henry #1 & I’m an sc fan ✌🏾✌🏾

[@bamafan18]

I agree

[@Da-Boo33]

Rolltide

[@feezy3250]

Eitienne top 5. He was more important to Clemson than Trevor Lawrence

[@bamafan18]

Not even the best RB in the country his junior year

[@VZell]

​@bamafan18 He gave all other backs caveats for not having stats, but Etienne got the stats he did only averaging about 12 carries per game, which means he shared carries and yards. He also never mentioned that Etienne is the all time ACC rushing yards and TDs leader. Compare his YPC to everybody on the list, he's top 5.

[@terronbrown7111]

No bijan or Blake courm is delusional… not when the list start with Royce freeman

[@tatertots0046]

Henry Cook Corum and Etienne are real top 4

[@swagmaster4599]

No bijan😢😢

[@klu_klux_on_the_set]

Cause I mean he never went to the playoffs

[@bamafan18]

Cause he isn't as good as any of these guys and he never went to the playoffs

[@jackteheng4450]

There is no way bijan isn’t top 5 on this list

[@DaScareCrow]

Roll Tide!

[@joshsmith9855]

Good list but feel like Etienne is top 5

[@bobbyharris3426]

Where Josh Jacobs at bama should have 4 RB on this list

[@nickcothran3307]

CMC should be higher.

[@nicholaswoods4055]

Most talented ? Or best career ? They are different

[@AK-sq1jl]

Get rid of Royce Freeman who nobodies ever heard of, move some guys down and fit Najee in Top 5-7 simewhere and you got a great list. Not bad though.

[@consciousm1nd]

Nick Chubb not in the top 5 is egregious. He’s top 5 with the injury easily top 2 without it.

[@jeremyharbin9450]

I gotta say you got Chubb way too low on this list! He basically misses a year because of that horrific injury but yet still leaves as Georgias number 2 back In yards! If he never got hurt he should be number 1 on this list and he would be Georgias best back eclipsing Hershel Walker!!!

[@jdtheguitartist]

I was at the game Chubb got hurt. He would have certainly beaten walkers record.

[@acito_20]

Chubb didn’t play a lot in college

[@tatertots0046]

Chubb shouldn't be on the list at all.

[@jdtheguitartist]

@@tatertots0046 lol yeah he only nearly broke Herschel’s records

@@Bigchamb55 Lol no. Stand on what you said and name 20 RBs better. Should be easy for you right?

[@kdotsdot3134]

Lol what's the criteria? Blake Corum should definitely be top 5

[@TheJakekeller22]

Blake Corum?????? Michigan TD leader of all time?? He was more crucial to his team and carried the load more than anyone on this list. Not one single player on this list basically carried a team to a national championship and the was 48 yards short of running for 1000 yards 3 seasons in a row. Two time all American and all big ten.

[@tatertots0046]

Would have won helmsman in 2022 also

[@bamafan18]

I agree

[@captainpeakyflowers5605]

Travis only won one national championship

[@AceWillliams]

Where is Najee?

[@justinbuska3499]

Najee never once broke 1500 yards, so many others better

[@AceWillliams]

@@justinbuska3499 but he had more receiving yards than them except CMC

[@AceWillliams]

[@kirbysmith8179]

No Bijan Robinson?

[@caseygambrell470]

Chubb at 1

[@dislikebutton7834]

Why was ETN a surprise? If anything he was ranked too low. I’d take him over anyone on this list

Mark Ingram

[@torresjackson94]

He went pro prior to the playoff era bro. Definitely was a beast in his Heisman season though💯

[@MichiganMan1994]

Dude what about Blake Corum? It’s not recency bias. Did you forget about his horrendous knee injury as the Heisman front runner in ‘22? Only to come back, beat Bama, win the national championship and lead his program in touchdowns. That was a bad miss Greg

[@highway0428]

I would put Bijan Robinson and JK Dobbins over Corum

[@champ4458]

Blake Corum 😂😂😂 Gang🙄

[@MichiganMan1994]

@@highway0428 that’s fine, but if you don’t know ball, just say that

[@bamafan18]

I agree. He tore our defense up. McCarthy gets talked about way too much with what Corum had to do to keep Michigan rolling.

No blake ? lol

Mark ingram Reggie bush Adrian Peterson?

[@AceWillliams]

None of those are CFP era

[@philgod420]

No Texas RBs huh??

[@bamafan18]

Yeah because they are overrated

[@Rageousss]

Derrick Henry is obviously #1 Give me Najee Harris over Jonathan Taylor.

[@troylee4196]

JT is better, stop it

[@Bigchamb55]

This is a crazy bias take when Taylor is the #4 NCAA career leading rusher.

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

@@Bigchamb55 in the Big10 West. Only 52 yards against Ohio State as a senior and 41 as a sophomore (the best competition he faced in his career) in a run-only offense.

[@bamafan18]

Woah woah woah! I'm a huge Najee fan but that's crazy. I'd say he is over Ettiene on this list but not that high.

[@adventureswithreggie]

Greg, get some sleep man

[@feezy3250]

Najee harris? He's top 8 at least

[@justinbuska3499]

Najee never once broke 1,500 yards

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

@@justinbuska3499 in 2020 he had 1,891 scrimmage yards (5.8ypc and 9.9 yards per completion) and 30 TDs in 13 games with no G5 or FCS opponents. That year he had 1 less TD than Christian McCaffrey's entire college career. That's absolutely better than some on this list ever did.

[@bamafan18]

​@@EulogyfortheAngels Yeah and Najee would've had an amazing year in 2019 if Damien Harris hadn't returned. I don't know why he's not on this list.

Elliot is not better than Derrick Henry plain and simple.

[@bamafan18]

Nope 😂

[@kyngkai3942]

this list is GARBAGE

[@theoneandonlysctbonecrushe6996]

The only problem I have with this list is najee Harris is not in the top 10 of his list because yes if Derrick Henry would have been the starter the other two seasons that he played at Alabama the career rushing record would be out Of reach for anybody but najee Harris is the all-time leading rusher in Alabama history with Derrick Henry being number two that's the only reason that I would have Harris somewhere in the top 10 if you want to have him at 10 that fine

[@jesscross44]

Zeke had 230 yards rushing and 2 tds against a alabama defense that hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher let alone rushing td all year we know who #1 is

[@bamafan18]

Yeah we know that the guy who won the Heisman and obliterated every defense he played against is #1. His name definitely doesn't start with an E.
