Look at what happened to Ray Rice this year without Cam Cameron in Baltimore. He was a complete non-factor.

Cam gets credit for developing Brees, Rivers, and Flacco but his production with running backs is excellent.

This shouldn't be overlooked by RB recruits.

I'll start with his final year at Indiana:

2001 - Levron Williams (averaged 6.8 yards per carry for his career; led nation in all-purpose yards as a senior)

2002 - Tomlinson (3rd in NFL in yards from scrimmage; 2nd in NFL in rushing yards)

2003 - Tomlinson (led NFL in yards from scrimmage; 3rd in NFL in rushing yards; 3rd in touchdowns)

2004 - Tomlinson (1st in NFL in rushing TDs)

2005 - Tomlinson (5th in NFL in yards from scrimmage; 3rd in rushing TDs)

2006 - Tomlinson (NFL record for single-season rushing TDs; No. 1 rushing yards, No. 2 yards from scrimmage)

2007 - Ronnie Brown (led entire NFL in total yards from scrimmage until week seven injury)

2008 - Ray Rice (Ravens were fourth in NFL in rushing yards and 5th in rushing TDs)

2009 - Ray Rice (2nd in NFL in yards from scrimmage)

2010 - Ray Rice (3rd in NFL in yards from scrimmage)

2011 - Ray Rice (led NFL in yards from scrimmage; 2nd in rushing yards)

2012 - Ray Rice (9th in NFL in yards from scrimmage)

2013 - Jeremy Hill (tied for 1st in rushing TDs; 9th in college football in yards)

I've been saying this since Cam got here, if you are a RB you are a key option in the passing game. After he gets the full system installed, Fournette is going to go over 1600 his freshman year in yards from scrimmage.

This is pretty interesting. I took his final year at his last four stops (Indiana, San Diego, Miami, and Baltimore) and compared the final team rushing stats in his final year to the rushing stats of those teams the year after he left.

In Cameron's last year: 161.9 yards per game, 4.7 ypc average

Team rushing year following his departure: 111.4 ypg, 3.7 ypc
