After the 2016-2017 season, David Johnson was considered to be a top 3 RB but after two years, you could slot him out of the top 10. Where would he rank today if I ranked all the starting running backs? This is based on all around ability.
32. Peyton Barber
He is just not talented enough to be a starting calibre running back. Ronald Jones could be good with a change of scenery.
31. Damien Williams
He is a new bee. Not a good power runner. Showed some flashes in the playoffs
30. LeSean McCoy
Shady is old and is not a good pass catcher. He will likely be a power back next year.
29. Kenyan Drake
He is way to inconsistent but gets yardage off huge plays
28. Marlon Mack
Was good in the playoffs but he is not a good receiver or power runner
He has dropped of largely due to off field issues. One of the better power backs.
26. Lamar Miller
He is not a good receiver and will share time with D'Onta Foreman
25. Jordan Howard
He is not a good receiver but is a good power back. His play has dropped off.
24. Tarik Cohen
He is just not a power runner and does not have the strength of an inside runner
23. Aaron Jones
He has just been too limited for us to see what he is about
22. Chris Carson
Power back with minimal receiving skill
21. Derrius Guice
Power back with minimal receiving skill
20. Josh Jacobs
He can be good but we did not see explosive plays from him in college
19. Tevin Coleman
Will share time with 2 other great backs. Not a great power runner
18. Kerryon Johnson
Power back with minimal receiving skill
17. Mark Ingram
Power back with minimal receiving skill
16. Dalvin Cook
Injures have cost him but he is one of the budding all around stars in the league. He is almost a David Johnson 2.0
15. Derrick Henry
Power back with minimal receiving skill
14. Sony Michel
He has potential but the Patriots are using him as the downhill runner as he is an all around back
13. Phillip Lindsay
He is a budding start but has a low ceiling in my opinion
12. Joe Mixon
He should be very good with a better OL now. Expect an explosion from an all around back
11. James Conner
He is a power back but also has elusiveness and catching ability
10. Nick Chubb
He is a power back but also has elusiveness and catching ability
He is building up a strength and he could get DJ's wanted 1000-1000 mark before DJ himself
He is the forgotten man. He is one of the leagues best
7. Alvin Kamara
He can power run nut his receiving skills are just uncanny
I think that he is the 3rd best all around back in the league and will be utilized by KK
He is a good power, elusive, and receiving back but injuries are a problem
He is a good power, elusive, and receiving back but attitude is a problem. He has the 3rd highest ceiling of this group
3. Leveon Bell
He has had a year off and his fresh legs should produce a historic season
2. Todd Gurley
He has had injury problems but is arguably the best all around back when healthy
He has the highest ceiling of any running back in the last 15 years and should have a resume worthy of Canton in 3 years. He is Barry Sanders 2.0
