2009 College Running Back Prospects

Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends

1. Knowshon Moreno
   Georgia 5′11″ 208 Soph
   Elite talent surrounded by an Elite team. Slashing style cuts through the line quickly. Needs to work on letting plays develop.


2. LeSean McCoy
   Pittsburgh 5′11″ 210 Soph
   When Dorsett says “He reminds me of me” I listen. Excellent all around game. Fumble concerns? Will be tested with rebuilt O-line.

   Big plays are his trademark. Can he be a lead back? Track star with huge upside.


5. DeMarco Murray Oklahoma
   6″0 190 Soph
   Questions linger around his knee. If healthy he could be the top RB in college this year. Runs low and falls forward with elite speed to boot.


6. James Davis
   Clemson 5′11″ 210 Sr.
   Good Intangibles, Runs a bit too upright, but still can deliver the blows. More of a one cut runner. Natural Leader.
