Alabama has seen several talented running backs come through the program over the last decade. Trent Richardson might have been the most talented of them all.
Alabama has put several running backs into the NFL since Nick Saban was named the head coach in 2007. Of those running backs, there have been two selected in the first-round, three selected in the second-round and two selected in the third-round.
There is no denying that the running back position has been Alabama’s most consistently productive unit since 2007. Mark Ingram was fantastic during his Heisman trophy season back in 2009, and Eddie Lacy has emerged as the most productive NFL running back to come out of Alabama in recent memory despite falling to the second-round of the 2013 draft.
