On Tuesday, we checked out the SEC quarterbacks who could hit the 3,000-yard passing mark in 2016. With a handful of unproven QBs returning, I went with four making it to 3,000.
Today, we look at potential 1,000-yard rushers, and expect the SEC to move mountains with its running games in 2016. A slew of talented running backs return, meaning a lot of offenses will hit the ground to pound opposing defenses.
Last season, the SEC tied the Mountain West with a nation-leading nine 1,000-yard rushers. Of those nine players to hit triple digits, only four of them -- LSU's Leonard Fournette (1,953 yards), Tennessee's Jalen Hurd (1,288), Georgia's Sony Michel (1,161) and Vanderbilt's Ralph Webb (1,152) -- return, but the SEC has plenty of other capable backs lurking around the league.
