So much Bama recency bias in this list. Najee Harris? Trent Richardson? I can see Derrick Henry and Mark Ingram, but Ingram is way too high. Shouldn't have even won that heisman.

Derrick Henry would not have even won the Heisman if the LSU/McNeese game had not been called for lightning. LF7 would have had 300+ yards that night.

If you are going to put Rozier on that list, that high, then you have to put Kevin Faulk at about 35.

Faulk had 4,557 career rushing yards and 46 TDs. He also had 53 catches for 600 yards and 4 TDs. He ALSO had 61 punt returns for 832 yards (13.6 YPR) and 2 TDs.

Emmit Smith didn't have near those numbers.

Emmitt Smith was better than Faulk.

Funny thing is Auburn had Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown on the same team that went 13-0 and they were picked #2 and #5 in the NFL draft and didn't make the list. Hell Ceceil the Diesel was better than half these players in college.

McFadden only at 35? That's the biggest miss.

Counting all purpose yards and everything K Faulk did on a football field he deserves to be considered top 25 all time.

An absolute insult that Kevin Faulk is not listed in the top 50 on this list.

Yes in college. You’re just looking at stats. I watched the two players live. Faulk was great, and was deserving of all his awards. Smith was better. That’s why he was the 17th pick and Faulk was the 46th.
