2009 NFL Draft: Running Backs
Email
PrintQB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | OG | OC | DT | DE | OLB | ILB | CB | FS | SS | All Rankings
| 1. Knowshon Moreno | 511, 208 pounds | Georgia | ||
|
A dynamic running back with exemplary playing speed and agility. Moreno has special ability on game days, but may slide some after a sub-par Combine. |
|
| 2. Chris Wells | 6'1, 237 pounds | Ohio State | ||
|
When healthy, Wells is clearly the best NFL-style running back in the draft. However, he always seems to have lingering injuries that limit his play. |
|
| 3. LeSean McCoy | 5'11, 210 pounds | Pittsburgh | ||
|
McCoy is a shifty and strong running back. Although he maybe should have returned for his senior year, he can start in the NFL immediately. |
|
| 4. Shonn Greene | 5'11, 235 pounds | Iowa | ||
|
Greene is a pure power back who can handle a lot of carries. He can convert first downs with ease and easily breaks tackles from linebackers. |
