Who are the hardest -- and easiest -- running backs to bring down?

During a recent "60 Minutes Sports" interview, Marshawn Lynch summed up his running philosophy with a description only he could get away with.

"If you just run through somebody's face, a lot of people ain't gonna be able to take that over and over and over," Lynch said.

During his prime from 2011 to 2014, Lynch piled up 2,420 yards after contact, more than any running back in the league.

Ball carriers have different styles, but the ability to fight through defenders and gain yards even when the blocking is not perfect is a skill that sets the most physical backs in the league apart from their peers.
