The running backs: Former UCF runner Kevin Smith leads ‘other’ colleges

Sometimes, the NFL has to look hard for its players.

Consider the state of Florida’s running backs. There, it can find Kevin Smith at UCF and Alfred Morris of FAU. Latavius Murray had 1,000 yards for the Raiders this season. Andre Hall had only a brief career with Denver, but the point is what he did in college.

They’re all young programs, but there has been talent.

So who are the top five running backs from the “other” state schools?

5. Latavius Murray, UCF (2010-2013): Rushed for 2,424 yards and 37 touchdowns for the Knights. Rushed for more than 1,000 yards for the Raiders.

4. Marlon Mack, USF (2014-present): Has gained 2,402 yards already at USF has has two years left. Expected to lead the Bulls again.

 

Rest of story

He sure did. I know I emailed him and shared by thoughts in a kind, rational way.

I wonder if he calls Michigan or Ohio State "colleges"

I don't understand what the criteria is. Mack has more yards in two years than Morris had in three. Or is he blending college and pro careers to make this list?

He must be. 

I agree with you.  My list would be: 1. Kevin Smith, 2. Andre Hall, 3. Marlon Mack, 4. Latavious Murray, 5. Alfred Morris

After this season though, Mack will probably leap frog Hall, IMO

Same list for me. Morris has stats based on longevity. He never did anything special other than churn out solid yards with FAU for four years.
