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

you have three mediocre RBs in your post >:)

The best were the old 90's style giant fat running backs that became pretty rare after Bettis, but god, remember Sam Gash? or Bam Morris.

Thank you Eddie Lacey and Blount for keeping the tubby boys alive. Brandon Jacobs thanks you.

Mike Tolbert sends his thanks as well.

Y'all remember Moe Williams? the recipient of one of the greatest unexpected laterals ever (or not I don't know but it was really dang cool), Sex Boat attender, and now apparently professional racing horse trainer.

I don't know how GOOD he was. I was just really coming into being a hard core football fan around 2009, but I remember him tearing his ACL in 2010 and just not being good after that.

Huh, he apparently quit because of injury+to take care of his brother who has Down Syndrome.

Then he came back the next year to try to play in the CFL, but lost his job to Tre Mason of all people.

He got pushed off the Rams after they took Tre Mason and Todd Gurley in back to back years. Turns out Mason had a lot of mental issues after that and stopped showing up to play. Ironically both Mason and Stacey were in camp with the Saskatchewan Roughriders this summer(Stacey got cut, Mason is on the roster).

Also here is the Isaiah Pead story, he lost his leg in a car crash and is trying to make the Special Olympics as a sprinter :smith:

I always like Ran Carthon as a RB name.

e: A total of 16 carries in the NFL. I have no idea why I remember this guy, Florida is why I'm sure but he didn't even have a ton of carries there.

Oh man I forgot all about Jonathan Dwyer, he was one of those Jonathan Stewart-eque bowling ball type dudes, right? He also apparently beat his wife, so it's amazing he didn't get more shots in the league.
