A detailed list of great Pro Michigan Running Backs

[BB73]

Eddie George in 97?

Try 1994

Robert Smith and Raymont Harris were both in the NFL in 1994.

Using your interpretation, the year at tOSU would have been 1992.

Which scUM alumni holds a major NFL record and which record is that?

HINT: the record was set in a game that is famous in Cincinnati Bengal history

Jamie Morris (Redskins) - 45 carries in a game - December, 1988. The Bengals won 20-17 in OT to clinch home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs.

Morris finished with 252 carries for his entire NFL career.

he was at one time the all time leading rusher up there. 4th rounder after that. fyi

Leroy Hoard wasn't that all that bad and he redeemed himself (partially) as a Brown!!!

G | Att Yards Y/A TD | Rec Yards Y/R TD

Eh, not quite. The Bengals didn't clinch it. That game was on a Saturday and they needed the Bills to lose the next day, which they did.

FWIW, you could change the thread title to "Serviceable Backs" and the list would go as such:

Jamie Morris.

Jamie Morris.

Hmmm you seem to be fixated on that name.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Hmmm you seem to be fixated on that name.

Call it a burning hatred of the "New York Football Giants."

And people who refer to themselves as "the Schwam"

 

[Muck]

No mention of Pete Johnson?

82 TD's is nothing to sneeze at. Nor is gaining close to 5,500 yards in 7 seasons on a team in which he wasn't the featured back.

Brockington was a very solid back his first 5 years in the league.

Wasn't Tim Dwight a receiver at Iowa?

...and in the NFL for that matter.

 

[RugbyBuck]

orlando goes pro and pepe sets the low bar that only lydell ross could limbo under.

Au contraire, Lydell would've slammed into the bar and/or tripped over it.

 

[BayBuck]

Not "great", but for the record, some others:

Raymont Harris had 2509 rush yards (16 TDs) and 739 rec yds (1 TD) in 7 seasons.

Archie had 2808 rushing (7 TD) and 1607 receiving (6 TD) in 7 seasons.

Ron Springs had 2519 rushing (28 TD) and 2259 receiving (10 TD) in 8 seasons.

Tim Spencer had 1792 (19 TD) rushing and 432 receiving in 6 seasons.

Vince Workman had 1737 (13 TD) rushing and 1294 (7 TD) in 9 seasons.

Michael Wiley had 503 (1 TD) rushing and 315 (2 TD) receiving in 3 seasons.

Jonathan Wells had 1167 (10) rushing and 323 (2 TD) receiving in 4 seasons.

Sorry.... here, have some greenies instead.

I'll certainly give you Robert Smith. Remember also that he was only a Buckeye for two years... which gets to my point: it's tough to get through a Big 10 Career and have anything left for the pros as a running back.

Penn State's Ki-Jana Carter and Curtis Enis were excellent college backs but did little in the pros. Same Same 'A' train, Chris Perry and Butchamafucka, Wisconson's Ron Dayne and Iowa's Tim Dwight.

No wonder MoC wanted to try and make the jump... which brings me to my final part, of the Michigan players hanging around for one more shot at the Buckeyes, Chris Hart has the mnost to lose in my opinion. He's not that big, he runs hard and right at people and he's already proven to be brittle...

I assume you meant "Mike."

 

[GoBucks89]

I was thinking of Rob Lytle but then he sucked so I couldn't think of any good scUM backs. I guess I'll go with Leroy Hoard as having the best NFL career out of all of them. Which is not much.
