Really good list, I like seeing Wadley up there and I wish he was on a team that could open up some bigger holes. The 2016 run game was pretty rough IIRC even with Wadley. I think Wadley was the most dangerous running back we've ever had 1v1 in the open field.

I think the link is broken on mobile Rob.

Also, no Marcus Coker? I can kinda see why he was omitted, but man was he fun to watch plow through people.

I was surprised the number 1 wasn't betts. He was a top level guy for 4 years, not a one year studd sammich. Yes greene had the most prolific year in hawk history, but betts did it for a career. He was steady, and awesome on some pretty pedestrian teams as far as oline goes. Also think fred Russell should be higher, but I couldn't figure out who to lower, so I guess its a quibble.
Final thought: wow we've had a lot of good full backs. Man the guys at the bottom of that full back list I remember being huge for us.

I think Canzieri is a real "what-if" guy. If he had managed to avoid the serious injuries, I think he has a Fred Russell-like career at the least.

Mark Weisman deserves higher mention on this list. He started at fullback but raised his hand to play running back when Iowa ran out of them.
