Missouri has a long line of players who have excelled at their respective positions and have individual traits that help make them stand out. You know, like Drew Lock’s arm strength or the athletic ability and quick twitch of a guy like Sheldon Richardson.
Which is a good starting point for this question: How would you build your ideal player? This week, we’ll build the best running back we possibly can.
Running Back
The makings of the best running backs are broken down to these categories:
- Speed
- Vision
- Power
- Elusiveness
- Pass Catching
Speed: Henry Josey, 2010-2013
I think there were a lot of guys with similar profiles in the speed category, but Josey was my choice based on his straight line speed specifically after his catastrophic knee injury in 2011.
