Obviously he didn't play full seasons, and his career was cut short, so we are not looking at aggregate stats here. That said, for those who watched him play, where do you rank him now that we are so far removed from both the hype, and the pain of seeing him get hurt.

It's a good time to talk about running backs because the way the NFL is going we are not going to see as many great athletes at running back, and when we do they will probably be catching the ball as much as they carry it. Additionally the tendency to platoon backs, while not even calling many run plays, and the creeping ubiquity of the spread, make evaluation even harder. Lastly, the only plays a lot of these guys get to run are shotgun draw plays that don't suit every type of back, and are more about keeping people honest in the passing game than actually putting the back in a position to make plays.

What about the stars of the era that's ending now; Adrian Peterson? Marshawn Lynch?



Is he up there with guys like Barry and Walter?
