South Jersey has a long history of providing the National Football League with quality running backs, with the late Hall of Famer Franco Harris of Rancocas Valley being the prime example.
Over the past several years, there have been some key local running backs who have made their mark on the NFL.
Salem’s Jonathan Taylor is a two-time Pro Bowl selection in his five seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He has rushed for 6,013 yards (4.9 avg.) and 51 touchdowns.
More recently, Vineland graduate Isiah Pacheco has played in the Super Bowl all three years for the Kansas City Chiefs.
