Barry Sanders is the best RB of all-time.
Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, Adrian Peterson, Ricky Williams, Herschel Walker and Marcus Allen. I never watched Archie Griffin, but I'm sure he merits serious consideration. If Marcus Dupree never got hurt, he's squarely in the mix.
Good list only one you missed is murderer OJ Simpson.Laughing
I can name 3 backs from Georgia in the last 5 years that I would put before Swift.
Gurley
Chubb
Michel

Jim Brown, Eric Dickerson, Eddie George would also deserve consideration. Don't see how you could keep Brown out of the top 5 myself.
No record-setting Donnel Pumphrey?
Pumphrey is the official all-time leader in rushing yards in NCAA FBS history.

You nailed it. Marcus Dupree might have had the best talent of all of them. Including Bo.
Not seeing it for Eddie George. Maybe that’s just me though.
Brown deserves top 5, George isn't even on the top 10 list. Dickerson wasn't the best RB of his time (maybe due to splitting time).
Add in Billy Sims, Adrian Peterson
I wouldn't put him at the very top, but Gale Sayers averaged 7 yards per carry for two Kansas teams that could barely get out of their own way.
If Sayes Career didn’t end so abruptly in the NFL he would’ve been one of the all-time great’s in the NFL...
You lost me when u don’t have the GOAT-Sanders
Billy Sims was amazing. And staying within the old Big 8, the only guy who ever stopped Barry Sanders was Pat Jones, the dimwitted HC who didn't let him touch the ball until he was a junior.
Names I haven't seen yet but should be considered.
Ron Dayne
Tony Dorsett
LaDainian Tomlinson
Mike Rozier
Darren Sproles
I discount Monte Ball and Melvin Gordon due to being able to run up their stats against those vaunted Bo defenses.

I had to Google Swift. What puts him in an all time top 5 over Barry, Bo, Herschel, Adrian, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc???
No way this is your legitimate list
"Concederation??" C'mon man. It only takes a few seconds to look up the spelling of a word, and you'll probably remember the spelling of it too, for future reference.
Barry Sanders
Billy Sims
Lawrence Phillips
Jim Brown
Bo Jackson
2nd five
Earl Cambell
Adrian Peterson
Ricky Williams
Gale Sayers
OJ

His speed. Let's put it this way at least. I would take him over any CFB back in 2019.
All criticism is fair. But has anybody split two safeties down the middle better than McFadden?
As much as I liked Lawrence Phillips, I wouldn't put him ahead of Adrian Peterson or Earl Campbell.
I can't believe someone said the words "Eddie George".
GOAT in the records books

Super Bowl ring to boot.

Duly noted... Still wouldn’t claim him as one of the best but he did have impressive stats..
No one hardly seen him play unless they lived on the West coast..
Agreed. Not even the Philadelphia Eagles (with whom he received his super bowl ring) have seen him play. Maybe this year, if he even makes the team.

Wow that is funny right there... No one would even have any of those in there legit top 10 list of all time. You went with the flavor of the month in Zeke and Barkley, Phillips and McFadden arent even the best Rb's of all time at their own school and dont even know Swift. You have got to put a little more effort in to be considered knowledgeable.
