Is the star running back back in the NFL? It sure looks that way after three straight drafts with at least one runner drafted in the top 10. Those top picks are translating to Sundays too. We all know the NFL is a copycat league, so are teams ready to embrace the star running back again?
The obvious answer is yes.
In the 2014 NFL draft, not one running back was selected in the first 50 picks. Washington's Bishop Sankey came off the board with pick No. 54, and all the talk was that the running back position was dead in the first round.
