Kimble Anders is my favorite mediocre running back. He was a 90's fullback at the height of fullbacks being used as psuedo-tight ends and caught a ton of passes, but not for a whole lot of yards and nothing like Larry Centers or whoever. He was just a functioning fullback who could catch. One year the Chiefs have poo poo at running back and decide to give Kimble a chance at halfback. He has a mediocre first game. In the second game he goes loving off, 142 yards on 22 carries. Unfortunately on that 22nd carry he tore his achilles and his career was basically over. He came back the next year but it was obvious he wasn't the same and he was basically done.

anthony sherman was a good fullback for the cardinals, i guess he's an all pro now but before the fame...

I was just looking up the Bears' list of all-time running backs and thinking back to the days of guys like Curtis Enis and Rashaan Salaam and James Allen, and then realized that not only does Walter Payton (naturally) have the team's record for rushing yards, but the next-closest guy, Forte, is more than eight thousand yards behind Payton.

Seconding Beanie Wells. I remember him stiffarming some Giants defender into an early grave one game and then he got kinda a rep for that and then just faded away. Tashard Choice was really good at falling forward for 3.9 yards for a while.

I remember when he was supposed to be a first round pick in fantasy and I laughed. Also laughed really hard when someone took him in the first in my work league.

Barry Sanders has a fair bit more then #2-#4 on the Lions' list combined.

 Living in the shadow of a giant, rip Forsett. He might be better than mediocre though.

Kalli posted:Sammy Morris had a 12 year NFL career as a RB which is pretty incredible and spent 4 in Buffalo, 3 in Miami then 4 in New England. Sammy Morris, on the rare occasion when he was completely healthy, was actually decent. But otherwise, yeah unremarkable.

Maurice Morris was a quality back up to shaun alexander and beat out julius jones on terrible seahawks teams not a world beater by any means but serviceable backup and in the league for like 7 years I will always remember him for having the "scatback" lightening in madden 2005 or whatever

Reuben Droughns had two 1200+ yard seasons, played for 8 years, and still only barely cracked 3600 career yards.

CyberPingu posted:Correll Buckhalter. still think he was underutilized, especially when you look at how he produced during 2006-2008. the dropoff from Westbrook to Buck was essentially zero, especially in 08 when Westbrook began circling the drain. it sounds silly but I still think they should have tried to move Westbrook to the slot, he lined up there often enough anyway

Eddie Lacy had a good two years. I watched some of those earlier runs, and the dude was just trucking over guys. He just got too big and had no stamina. Too much china food.

Man, he was so much fun to watch those couple years. Dude put the team on his back when Rodgers was down for a bit in 2013.
