Most RBs from Tennessee come to mind between Arian Foster and Alvin Kamara.



Both players numbers a Tennessee were better or almost identical to the NFL as an average. This is a pretty bad example. Kamara had a smaller sample size and that was the only reason he fell to the Saints where he did.

As an LSU fan, I barley remember Ryan Clark making plays in a tiger uniform. Not saying he didn’t play. Just don’t remember anything memorable he did in college.

Crowded backfield his entire career at Texas. Rose up the depth chart to become RB2 in his junior year. Was poised for a breakout senior year, but then he got injured and Ricky Williams broke out instead.


Yep, Texas had the bmw backfield- qb James brown, Ricky williams and M - shon Mitchell, the other running back.

Holmes was basically third string and IIRC the pass catching back.

Arian Foster was a beast at UT, he just had a shitty final season when Fat Phil convinced him to come back when he should have left. Anyone who watched UT could tell Alvin was a monster but Jalen Hurd was Butch's prize recruit and so Kamara was never going to get the starting job.

Dan Marino had more INTs than TDs in his last year in college

He was coked out of his mind so maybe that’s more impressive
