I truly believe that running backs will eventually get their due justice and day in the sun again.
That the Cincinnati Bengals giving Joe Mixon a four-year, $48 million contract on Tuesday without so much of a whisper of a dispute preceding it, may be a positive sign for the men who play that position. But we could still be a ways away from getting everyone to admit that they matter.
The 2020 rookie class having some dominant campaigns could be both a good (for obvious reasons) and bad (cheaper players outperforming veterans) moment for the movement to get running backs some credit and more pay.
