Roger Craig was selected in the 1983 NFL draft, considered one of the best of all time for running backs. Headed by Eric Dickerson, Curt Warner and Craig, six backs in that class combined for 17 Pro Bowls and 19 1,000-yard seasons.
With that in mind, Craig was asked to compare the 1983 running back class to the 2017 class, which was stacked with talent. In fact, four of the six running backs recently named to the Pro Bowl came out of the 2017 draft, including the Vikings’ Dalvin Cook.
“I’ll take the 2017 one,” said Craig, who played in the NFL from 1983-93, and made four Pro Bowls with San Francisco before playing his final two seasons for Minnesota.
