    1995 was the last year a runningback went #1 overall... and there are a few big reasons for that.

    Fun fact: the Titans actually had the number one pick and traded down. They also picked up the Rams #45 pick and used it to select Henry

    If you think this is bad. You should do a video on how far the fullback position has fallen off. The running back position is heading in the same direction.

    In hindsight, I think both Henry and Chubb are the only two backs I would even consider using a top 5 pick on as they have been steadily producing for years and are an essential part of their team's identity

    It’s also the fact that running backs are somewhat replaceable, and don’t need to be picked in the first round and given all that money. Theres plenty of teams and instances where a backup running back performs well and puts up the same yardage but at a cheaper rate

    I think Derek Henry is the best running back since AD, I remember seeing Derek Henry’s 99 yard run. He is a unit.

    Master P did an interview in a Ki-Jana Carter Jersey on in 96. Those 90s NFL jerseys were so fly to me

    Literally had the worst birthday of my life yesterday. I stressed out the whole day and most of my family members just blew me off including my father. When I sat down at the end of the night and saw that there was a new KTO video I genuinely felt joy for the first time in a fat minute. Idk why but this man's videos are just God tier compared to all of the other football CZcams. Thanks for posting another banger at the perfect time my man

    This is indirectly related to the Deebo Samuel situation with the 49ers. As the year went on, he started to become their feature ball carrier. While he is a team player and did his best to help his team win, he wants to play WR, not "Wide Back".

    I went to highschool/ grew up around Derrick Henry.... He is bound and determine to be the best there ever is and was.

    I miss my youth, the decade of the running back. the 80s.

    The biggest rule change of all time is why…offensive lineman being allowed to use their hands. Pass blocking on a regular basis became a lot more practical.

    I remember seeing the rumors for Barkley to the Browns that year, I truly think Chubb is better for the Browns than Barkley could/would be

    That man Myles Jack was something scary out the backfield tbh I was a huge fan of his when he was at UCLA

    While the 2016 NFL Draft is a good example, the post- Ki-Jana one that illustratres more your point is the 1999 draft. Coming up to this draft you had one of the most hyped prospects ever in Ricky Williams and a generational talent in Edgerrin James, yet they went 4th and 5th and the top 3 picks were quarterbacks, and two of those were worse than Goff and Wentz, only McNabb was worth of the pick. The Browns would have definitely gave up Couch if they knew how talented James would end up being.

    I’d go as far to say that almost no running back should get drafted in the first round. The longevity just isn’t there and you generally get better value at almost every other position. Jamal Lewis is the last running back drafted in the top 20 picks who won a super bowl with the team who drafted him

    Biggest issue to me is their career length. Even if they're an all-timer RB, that will probably only last 2-4 years at most. Its just not worth the investment right now until health advances enough somehow to keep backs healthier.
