My Top 10 Rb's For The 2009-10 Season

1. Adrian Peterson

Obviously. He comes first on just about everyone's list. He breaks tackles regularly and is almost never taken down by the first defender to reach him. He simply puts up big numbers week in and week out.

2. Michael Turner

I love this guy. He's great on the goal line and can easily break into the open for a huge Td run. With a young Qb in Matt Ryan, even though he has turned out to be excellent for the falcons, I think they will continue to lean on the running game.

3. DeAngelo Williams

This back has just put up great stats all year and its hard to argue with numbers.

4. Matt Forte

Outstanding runner. Avoids defenders easily, and can pound the ball in on the goal line too. Not to mention he has about a third of the bears total yards on offense. and all this as a rookie, he should get even better with experience.

5. Brian Westbrook

Sure he's had only a decent season this year, but he continues to show that he can run hard and receive.

6. Ladanian Tomlinson

Its hard to take him out of the top ten. Even coming of a very mediocre season he is still a very good back. I think he will bounce back next year and have yet another great season.

7. Thomas Jones

He looked excellent this season grabbing 15 total touchdowns as of Week 16. He should be good in 2009 as well

8. Steve Slaton

Excellent rusher. He set the Franchise rushing record for the texans as a rookie. Great vision and can cut on a dime. He should get even better with experience.

9. Clinton Portis

He is great when he's healthy, but only a decent back when hampered with an injury. Honestly there weren't many weeks this season where he didn't have some kind of damage to his body. One of the better backs in the league, if only he could just stay healthy.

10. Maurice Jones-Drew

Jones-Drew Had a pretty good year finding the in-zone a total of 14 times, and this was behind a virtually non existent Jaguars offensive line. I think the Jag's O-line will improve this off season and he will be one of the leading rushers in 2009.

Chris Johnson and Brandon Jacobs were right there for the No. 10 spot, but the stats MoJo-D put up this last season with a crippled O-line are better than both of theirs, and should improve greatly with a recovered line next season.
