A couple of observations...
1) Todd Gurley seems immensely overrated at No. 22. He did display massive potential, but I just can't see how you justify ranking him that high. His rookie numbers were less than Jeremy Hill's from only a year prior.
2) Pittsburgh having four players listed was an immense surprise given their lack of success in the last decade.
3) Also, Pittsburgh and Wisconsin seem to have the highest quality of successful NFL players. Pittsburgh has three players listed in the top-30 and Wisconsin three in the top-25.
4) Hmm, I can't help but notice that Alabama is absent from this list...
12

Was also making the Hill GUrley comparison in my head

How do they justify these rankings exactly?Posted on 6/30/16 at 3:02 pm to saint amant steve
La'el Collins might not be far off in reality.

Gurley is overrated @ 22 but it has nothing to do with Jeremy Hill's numbers.

LSU with more elite offensive players than defensive players. Who'd have guessed that watching them the last 15 years.

You gotta remember, this is voted on by THE PLAYERS.

True, but I thought it was an apt comparison considering that Hill wasn't even ranked after his rookie season.
Gurley: 1294 all-purpose yards and 10 touchdowns.
Hill: 1339 all-purpose yards and 9 touchdowns.

Would have thought Cal would be on there- Rogers, Desean, Cam Jordan, Alex Mack

Wisconsin three in the top-25.
Wisconsin only had 2.25. They don't get full credit for Wilson.

We're talking rookie seasons.

OK. I'm talking about this list. No one thinks Jeremy Hill is better than Todd Gurley except people on this site.

I don't think anyone thinks Hill is better than Gurley, even on this site.
Posted on 6/30/16 at 3:29 pm to saint amant steve
Kyle Williams should be on that list

The point was that 11 running backs were listed in 2015 and somehow Hill was not included, despite having numbers comparable to Gurley and while splitting carries with Bernard early in the season.
Meanwhile, nine running backs have been listed thus far in the 2016 list, with only 10 spots left on the entire list. At worst, it appears that Gurley will be the third-highest ranked tailback in the League according to this poll.
Even as a Georgia fan, you have to acknowledge how ridiculous that seems.

That part doesn't seem ridiculous.
22nd overall is probably a bit of a reach.
