It feels like decades since the Redskins have had a complete running back. One must go back to the days of Clinton Portis, who came over from Denver via trade for All-Pro corner Champ Baily, to find the last Redskins back who was considered a complete NFL back.
Hostory has not been very kind at the position. The longest tenured running back in team history was John Riggins. He played 9 seasons in Burgundy and Gold between 1976-1985, and is still the teams career leader in rushing yards and touchdowns with 7472 and 79 respectively. For as great at Riggins was in his hayday running behind the Hogs, he has a career average of just 3.
