And they tend to drop off quick, too. Look at Elliott with Dallas. I hope that Mixon can come back just as strong as he was but I think that giving him a big contract may end up being a mistake. Hope I am wrong.
Elliott went from running behind an OL with 3 All-Pros to running behind an OL with 0 All-Pros.
Meanwhile Aaron Jones for the Packers gets to run behind 2 All-Pros and 1 Pro Bowler and now he's tearing it up in the postseason against the #1 defense.
The key to a good running game is a good OL. Unless your RB is Barry Sanders, he's going to need good OL if he's going to be any good. Combined with how replaceable RBs are, and it is just absurd to pay the vast majority of RBs out there.
