Prior to the draft, the pundits I listened to were high on Jadarian Price. I never watched him play, so I put my trust in the comments of these pundits. However, I’m still concerned about his weight–that is, he seems a little light. Generally, I like beefier RBs, partly because I prefer a physical style and partly because I think it helps with durability. ( By the way, I thought I saw him listed around 200, but pro football reference lists him at 210. Which is it?) <\/p>\n
Here’s what I’m wondering: how many good RBs have been under 200-210 lbs. range or less? I’m especially interested in knowing any that have played for a long time, or at least more than a one or two seasons. I welcome names, but here are a few that I’ve looked up: <\/p>\n
James Cook (BUF)–190, 4 seasons <\/p>\n
Bucky Irving (TB)–195, 2 seasons (injured quite a bit last season)<\/p>\n
Tony Pollard (TEN)–209, 7 seasons<\/p>\n
Chris Johnson (TEN\/ARI)–195, 10 seasons<\/p>\n
(Note: The numbers come from pro football reference.) <\/p>\n
It’s encouraging to see names like James Cook and Chris Johnson, maybe Tony Pollard to a lesser extent. I’m sure I’m missing a lot. Please post any other good, durable RBs that are 210 or lighter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prior to the draft, the pundits I listened to were high on Jadarian Price.
