Now that the Draft is over. Who were the top 5 RB's from ND to the NFL?

[mysontim]

The only 5 I can think of were:
1. Paul Hornung
2. Rocky Blier
3. Ricky Watters
4. Jerome Bettis
5. Julius Jones

I really can't come up with any others of great signifigance. What do you guys think.

you should add allen pinckett to that list. he had a nice career with the oilers.

didn't vegas play for a bit in the nfl??? he was a bit before my time.

 

[GoshenGipper]

I would put both Bettis, and Watters in the top three.

Any of the four horsemen play in the NFL or was the nfl not around back then

Greg Bell had a decent career w/ the Bills, Rams & Raiders. He played in the mid thru late '80s.

Vegas played approx. 2 yrs. w/ the Pats. He had respectable #s considering how bad they were, so I'm guessing he was befelled by injury, but not sure.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I would put both Bettis, and Watters in the top three.

No question. As far as rushing yardage & TDs they are amongst the all-time greats. Not saying Watters will get in the HOF, but his numbers are up there w/ HOFers.

Did Reggie Brooks do anything in the NFL?
