Identifying the Top NFL Running Backs by Draft Round

Running backs, despite their value in recent years being called into question, have been one of the most important positions historically. There have been a little over 2,000 running backs drafted into the NFL in the Super Bowl era. For this video, I've scoured decades of data going round by round to find the greatest and most accomplished running backs this league has ever seen. This will come as no surprise, but most of the all-time greats were drafted in round one. To get an idea of the success differences by round, I went and found the exact number of running backs drafted in each round from 1967 to 2019 and noted how many rushed for at least 5,000 yards in their career. 5,000 was an easy number that at least indicates a player was good and healthy enough to put together multiple solid seasons as a team's primary or secondary running back. It doesn't mean a player was amazing, but it's enough to show that a back was serviceable for more than half a decade. 32% of first-round running backs rushed for at least 5,000 yards in their career, meaning the majority either were busts or got injured early in their careers. Now to take it a step further, 10,000 rushing yards is a feat that very few reach. Let me quickly add a side note here: the average NFL running back's career is short, under 2.6 years. The physical demands and high injury risks are a hill that most backs won't be able to get over, and for those who do, all it takes is for a player to lose a step in their game, and now they are a backup or out of the league entirely. In 2019, Zeke Elliott, at the age of 24, was no doubt one of the best backs in the NFL. However, three years later, at age 27, no one considered him a great back, honestly, not even the best back on the Cowboys. His yards per carry had decreased dramatically. He's not even 29, and he's been a shell of himself for a few years now and served as a rotational back last year in New England. I'm not trying to pick on Zeke; this happens all the time. Remember Philip Lindsay? He had two surprise breakout seasons in 2018 and 2019. By 2021, he was a backup, and by 2023, he was in the XFL. I use these examples to illustrate how impressive the 10,000-yard feat really is. It displays both longevity, which is already rare in the NFL, and the remarkable ability to be, at the very least, an above-average starter for around a decade or more. In other words, it's no fluke. A player doesn't make it here by accident. It's not necessarily a mark worthy of the Hall of Fame, but it's getting pretty damn close. Just under 12% of first-round running backs rushed for 10,000-plus yards in their career. Despite only 11.7% reaching that mark, virtually every historical big-name running back was picked in the first round. Of the 19 Hall of Fame running backs drafted in the Super Bowl era, 16 were drafted in the first round, 14 of which were top-10 picks. However, despite this historical dominance, the effects of first-rounders are much lower in today's game. Christian McCaffrey is a total stud and is currently the best back in football, but in 2023, only one of the other top 10 NFL rushers was drafted in the first round—Najee Harris. First-round running backs are much less prevalent statistically today compared to 20 years prior when six of the top 10 rushers were first-rounders. The game and the way running backs are utilized have certainly changed. Anyways, when deciding who's the greatest first-round running back ever, there are a few different ways of examining this debate. Here's how I lay it out: The most dominant pre-Super Bowl era back is Jim Brown. Considering he won MVP as a rookie and was the best back and most likely player in the league every year he played, no one has dominated at the level Jim Brown did. The best Super Bowl era running back is a toss-up between Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. Although my vote would be for Barry to pay respect to Walter. As Ray Lewis put it, "Once you put wisdom and will on top of talent, you get what you call Sweetness—an elite blend of speed and power." Walter Payton played at an elite level well into his 30s. And for Barry, besides his superior all-time numbers, Barry stands in a class of his own in terms of ability to cut, change direction, accelerate, and juke defenders. His highlight reel is the best of all time, in my opinion. The greatest running back longevity has to go to Emmitt Smith. This dude was a starting-level running back for 15 years. Nobody argues that he was as talented or dominant as the previous guys, but the durability of this man was remarkable, and it's why he's the all-time leading rusher. For the era I witnessed, LaDainian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson take the cake. LT had a massive influence on how modern running backs are utilized today, considering his effect on not just the run game but the pass game as well. He holds the all-time record for rushing touchdowns in a season. And of course, Adrian Peterson was a freight train in his prime. This man put the fear of God into his opponents, and nobody has had more impressive resiliency from injury. When you look at what Peterson accomplished after suffering major injuries in the NFL, it's simply astonishing. As expected, the talent and production level diminish significantly once we reach the second round. 15.33% of second-rounders compared to the 32% of first rounders reached 5,000 yards rushing in their career, and just five of those 176 backs drafted in round two are in the 10,000 Club. The most notable second-rounders in the NFL today include the top two being Derrick Henry and Nick Chubb. And then there's another class of solid guys including Jonathan Taylor, Miles Sanders, and Joe Mixon. Historically, the five names that have eclipsed 10,000 yards are Tiki Barber, Ricky Watters, LeSean McCoy, Corey Dillon, and the most statistically dominant and only second-round Hall of Fame running back as of now, Thurman Thomas. First down on that call delay for Thomas, oh, looking him spin through all the way to the 25, as one of the emotional leaders during the Bills' run to four Super Bowls, his ability to be a great rusher as well as an effective pass catcher in their no-huddle attack led Thomas to some hugely successful seasons and playoff runs, which included him winning the regular season MVP in 1991. As for today, Derrick Henry is still playing and is worthy of being considered the greatest second-round running back of all time. After serving as a rotational back for a few years in Tennessee, Henry, at his relatively massive size, exploded onto the scene in 2018 and by 2020 was the best back in football. He may have not won MVP, but he became one of just eight dudes to reach the illustrious. Read the full article

DK Metcalf's Praise: Antonio Brown, The Unmatched NFL Icon

DK Metcalf's Bold Assertion In a stunning turn of events, DK Metcalf, the talented wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, recently proclaimed that Antonio Brown is, without a doubt, the best wide receiver in the entire history of the National Football League (NFL). The statement has sent shockwaves through the football community, with fans, analysts, and players alike taking to social media to share their opinions on the matter. Metcalf's bold assertion has reignited the age-old debate surrounding the greatest wide receiver to have ever graced the NFL. Antonio Brown's Unparalleled Legacy To understand the significance of DK Metcalf's proclamation, it's essential to delve into the illustrious career of Antonio Brown. Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft, Brown quickly emerged as a game-changer. His electrifying speed, crisp route-running, and exceptional catching ability made him a constant threat on the field. Brown's tenure with the Steelers saw him amass numerous accolades, including seven Pro Bowl selections and four First-Team All-Pro nods. However, it was his stint with the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots that somewhat tarnished his legacy. Off-field issues and controversies began to overshadow his on-field brilliance, leading to his eventual release from both teams. Nonetheless, Brown's talent remained undeniable, and he was given a chance for redemption when he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Read the full article

🔍 Flea Flicker is a term commonly used in American football. It refers to a trick play where the quarterback hands the ball off to a running back, who then tosses it back to the quarterback to throw a long pass. But where did this term come from? 🏈 The origins of the term Flea Flicker can be traced back to the 1930s. It was first used by the coach of the University of Georgia football team, Wally Butts. He named the play after watching his small, fast running back, Charlie Trippi, who reminded him of a flea. 🐜 Today, the Flea Flicker is a popular play in football, used to trick the defense and gain a big play. It has become a staple in the playbook of many teams, from high school to the NFL. But the term Flea Flicker remains a nod to its humble beginnings and the creativity of early football coaches.1. The History of Flea Flicker: From its Origins to Modern DayFlea Flicker is a trick play in American football that involves deception and misdirection. It has been used in the sport for over 70 years. The play was first used in the 1948 Rose Bowl by the University of California Golden Bears. It involves the quarterback handing the ball off to a running back, who then tosses it back to the quarterback. The quarterback then throws a long pass downfield to a receiver who has gotten behind the defense. Over the years, the Flea Flicker has become a staple of football, used by both college and professional teams. It has been used in many memorable games, including Super Bowl XIV, where the Pittsburgh Steelers used it to score a touchdown. Modern-day variations of the play include the use of multiple laterals and the option for the running back to throw the ball instead of the quarterback. The Flea Flicker remains a popular play due to its ability to catch defenses off guard and create big plays. It requires precise timing and execution, making it a risky play, but one that can pay off big if successful. Teams continue to use it as a way to gain an advantage and keep their opponents guessing. 🏈🐜🔙🔜🎉2. Understanding the Mechanics of the Flea Flicker Play in FootballThe flea flicker play is a trick play in football that involves a fake handoff. The quarterback hands the ball off to a running back, who then tosses the ball back to the quarterback. The quarterback then throws the ball downfield to a receiver who has gotten behind the defense. 🏈 The flea flicker play is designed to catch the defense off guard and create a big play. It requires precise timing and execution from all players involved. The running back must toss the ball back to the quarterback at the right moment, and the quarterback must make an accurate throw downfield. The flea flicker play can be run from any formation, but it is most effective when the offense is in a running formation. This is because the defense is more likely to bite on the fake handoff, leaving the receiver open downfield. The flea flicker play is a high-risk, high-reward play. If the defense doesn't fall for the fake, the play can result in a loss of yards or a turnover. However, if the play is successful, it can result in a touchdown or a big gain. In order to successfully execute the flea flicker play, the offense must sell the fake handoff. This means that the running back must act as if he has the ball and run as if he is going to make a play. The quarterback must also sell the fake by acting as if he is going to hand the ball off. In conclusion, the flea flicker play is a tricky play in football that requires precise timing and execution. It can be a game-changer if executed correctly, but it is also a high-risk play. 🤔3. The Significance of the Flea Flicker in Football Strategy and TacticsThe flea flicker is a trick play in football that can catch the defense off guard. It involves a fake handoff followed by a lateral pass back to the quarterback, who then throws a deep pass downfield. 🏈 This play is significant because it requires precise execution and can result in big gains or even touchdowns. It also puts pressure on the defense to stay alert and not fall for the fake handoff. 💥 The flea flicker can be used to turn the momentum of a game in favor of the offense. It can also be used as a surprise element to keep the defense guessing. Coaches use it strategically to exploit weaknesses in the opposing team's defense. 🔍 However, the flea flicker is not foolproof and can backfire if not executed properly. It requires a skilled quarterback, running back, and offensive line to sell the fake handoff and execute the lateral pass and deep throw accurately. 🤝 In conclusion, the flea flicker is a high-risk, high-reward play that can change the course of a game. It requires careful planning and execution, but when done correctly, it can be a game-changer. 🏆4. The Evolution of the Flea Flicker: How it Has Changed Over Time🦟 The flea flicker is a trick play in football that has been around for decades. It involves the quarterback handing the ball off to a running back, who then tosses it back to the quarterback for a deep pass downfield. 🏈 Over time, the flea flicker has evolved to include different variations. Some teams use it as a trick play to catch the defense off guard, while others use it as a staple in their offensive playbook. 💥 One variation is the double flea flicker, where the ball is handed off twice before being thrown downfield. Another is the reverse flea flicker, where the running back takes the handoff and then tosses it back to a receiver coming in reverse. 📈 The flea flicker has become more popular in recent years, with teams using it more frequently to keep defenses guessing. It has also become more effective, with quarterbacks and receivers becoming more skilled at executing the play. 🔮 It's hard to predict where the flea flicker will go from here, but it's safe to say that it will continue to evolve and be used in creative ways. As long as there are football games to be played, the flea flicker will remain a staple in the playbook of many teams.5. Famous Flea Flicker Plays in Football History and their Impact on the GameFootball has seen some incredible flea flicker plays throughout history, which have left a lasting impact on the game. 🏈 One of the most famous flea flicker plays was executed by the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VIII. It resulted in a touchdown and helped the Dolphins secure their second consecutive championship. 🐬 The Boise State Broncos also pulled off a memorable flea flicker play in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. It was a crucial play in the game and helped the Broncos secure an improbable victory over the heavily favored Oklahoma Sooners. 🏆 Another famous flea flicker play was executed by the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. It resulted in a touchdown and helped the Saints secure their first-ever championship. ⚜️ The flea flicker play has become a staple in the modern game, with many teams using it to great effect. It's a play that requires precision and timing, but when executed correctly, it can be a game-changer. 🔥 In conclusion, the flea flicker play has had a significant impact on football history. It's a play that has been used to great effect by some of the game's greatest teams and players. Its ability to change the momentum of a game makes it one of the most exciting plays in football. 🙌6. The Psychology of the Flea Flicker: Why it Works and How to Defend Against It🏈 The flea flicker is a trick play that can deceive the defense and lead to big gains. It involves a fake handoff followed by a pass. 🤔 The psychology behind the flea flicker is that it forces the defense to commit to stopping the run, leaving the receivers open downfield. 🛡️ To defend against the flea flicker, the defense must stay disciplined and not bite on the fake handoff. The secondary should also stay back to prevent big plays. 💪 The key to defending against the flea flicker is communication and trust between the players. The defense must work together to stay focused and not get caught off guard. 👀 It's important for the defense to recognize the formation and tendencies of the offense. This can help them anticipate when a flea flicker may be coming. 📈 The success rate of the flea flicker depends on the execution and timing of the play. It's a high-risk, high-reward play that can swing the momentum of the game. In conclusion, the flea flicker is a trick play in American football that originated in the early 1900s.

It requires precise timing and execution, but when done correctly, it can be a game-changing play.
