RE: Christian McCaffrey - when was last white RB picked in 1st round?

I've seen mocks with McCaffrey as high at 8. It's really hard to imagine a white RB being a top 10 NFL draft pick because it flat out does not happen.
I recall Toby Gerhart being a second round pick in 2010. My quick research says the last white RB drafted in the first round was John Cappelletti in 1974 over 40 years ago. Incredible.
ETA: Poster below said Tommy Vardell in 1992. Fullback out of Stanford. Stanford has a virtual lock on the white running back apparently.

Maycock predicts him going to the Panthers

He's too small, but will be a nice slot receiver

What round did the Vikings take that other Stanford running back?

Sam McGuffie just ripped his shirt off and hurdled 13 mailboxes after reading this.

Did you purposely misspell Stanford?

Ha, no not on purpose. I actually have to travel for work to Stamford, CT all the time. Just a mistake.

Makes sense.

He played at Rice too right? So much hype about that kid back then.
