For the first time in a long time Green Bay opens the offseason with a trio of running backs who are young, talented, and have shown the ability to be capable running backs in Green Bay’s offense. Throughout the Mike McCarthy era it’s often been a challenge finding depth at the running back position.
Here were the depth charts at running back during McCarthy’s time in Green Bay:
- 5/1/18: Ty Montgomery, Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams
- 5/1/17: Ty Montgomery, Jamaal Williams, Christine Michael
- 5/1/16: Eddie Lacy, James Starks, John Crockett
- 5/1/15: Eddie Lacy, James Starks, Rajion Neal
- 5/1/14: Eddie Lacy, James Starks, DuJuan Harris
- 5/1/13: Eddie Lacy, James Starks, Johnathan Franklin
- 5/1/12: James Starks, Alex Green, Brandon Saine
- 5/1/11: Ryan Grant, Brandon Jackson, James Starks
- 5/1/10: Ryan Grant, Brandon Jackson, James Starks
- 5/1/09: Ryan Grant, Brandon Jackson, DeShawn Wynn
- 5/1/08: Ryan Grant, Brandon Jackson, Vernand Morency
- 5/1/07: Vernand Morency, Brandon Jackson, DeShawn Wynn
- 5/1/06: Ahman Green, Vernand Morency, Noah Herron
You can make a strong argument that this is the deepest that Green Bay has been at running back during McCarthy’s tenure.
