QBs and lbs tend to get better with time and aren't worth big contracts early. Even more so for linemen . And they can have 10+ year careers. Running backs may only get one real contract before they peak or get injured and have to slow down.

And since most RBs are drafted after the first round, by the time their four year rookie deal is up, teams are looking at putting them out to pasture.

Play four years, franchise, franchise, see ya.
