Running Back U: Pinpointing SEC's best program a challenge at talent-rich position - Saturday Down South

Let's hope that tradition continues soon! Go Vols!

1. Tennessee (Draft Picks: Reggie Cobb, Roland Poles, Greg Amsler, Chuck Webb, Charlie Garner, Aaron Hayden, James Stewart, Jay Graham, Shawn Bryson, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, Travis Stephens, Troy Fleming, Cedric Houston, Montario Hardesty) — With an incredible 15 picks, the Vols have had two more selections than any other SEC program since 1989 … Henry, the program’s all-time leading rusher, tallied 6,086 yards on the ground in seven NFL seasons … Lewis is perhaps the Vols’ most decorated back, capturing a BCS championship in 1998, then winning a Super Bowl as a rookie with the Baltimore Ravens in 2000 … He went on to score 58 touchdowns and register more than 10,000 yards rushing as a 10-year pro … On an undrafted note, Arian Foster’s been a three-time All-Pro and was the NFL’s 2010 top rusher since not hearing his name called in 2009.

Noteworthy totals in Knoxville
•Henry: 3,078 yds rushing, 26 total TD
•Stewart: 2,890 yds rushing, 39 total TD
•Lewis: 2,677 yds rushing, 21 total TD

Wait until the new crop of WRU soldiers make Worley look like the 2nd coming of "The Iceman" this season!

Rajion Neal and Tauren Poole are in the NFL also. Amazing to imagine how many NFL RB'S we have produced in just that time frame.

Doubt Rajion makes the Packers' roster. He seems destined for the practice squad at the moment.

The Packers have (6) runningbacks on their current roster. My guess is that he only needs to beat out two of the other guys.

Starter, Eddie Lacy, DuWuan Harris, Michael Hill, James Starks, LaDarius Perkins and then Neal

Last season, their roster had (3) runningbacks and a fullback If that is any indication of what they will do this season also.
