According to Marc Sessler of NFL.com, the Indianapolis Colts have the 11th best backfield in the NFL. Of course, the team had a major addition this offseason with the signing of longtime San Francisco 49ers great Frank Gore:
11. Colts: Frank Gore, Dan Herron, Vick Ballard, Zurlon Tipton, Josh Robinson
While the Colts fall just short of Sessler’s Top 10, who also received input from NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah, it’s not a bad ranking all things considered. Rounding out the NFL’s Top 5 are the Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, and Pittsburgh Steelers, all of whom (except the Saints) possess arguably one of the best running backs in the NFL.
