Ravens Running Backs ~ A Look Back
Running Backs. Perhaps not a dying breed but clearly it’s a position that has lost some of its luster in the modern day NFL. It’s a position that teams are careful not to over-draft. It’s a position that teams are reluctant to overpay. But it always hasn’t been that way.
