People don't realize how big of a freak McGahee was. He was on a totally different level than lattimore physically.

Lattimore as a bigger back could have trouble.

McGahee wasn't as big but actually added weight to change his game. He knew he wouldn't have the same explosion/speed


I think Lattimore is more like Stevan Ridley actually. Best case

Starting running back for one of the best teams in the league? That's a pretty good case.

Yeah, McGahee was a fricking freak. A testament to his great athleticism and ability is the fact that he is still an effective RB at his age.

I think the disintegration of the RB position is a little over exaggerated. 20 teams in the NFL have a fairly consistent RB that they use for 15+ carries a game. Four backs of those twenty RB's average 20+ carries per game.

I would contend that roughly half the teams in the NFL are still run first teams.
