But I wouldn't put Hill at #5 just yet. It's too early for that. Lynch is still a beast. McCoy still flourishes. As does Forte. I'd put Hill at #8 on that list right now.

There's no way a guy that hasn't rushed for a single yard at the professional level should be ranked above anyone with those credentials. There are still plenty of quality running backs in the NFL.
Aren't all of those guys closing in on the dreaded carry numbers though?
I'd have to look it up, but there's a clear drop off when RBs hit a certain number of carries for the season/career.
