Top 2010 NFL Draft RB Prospects

Our "Big Board" of 2010 NFL draft prospects will be updated monthly.

1. Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech - 6-0- 235
   Jonathan Dwyer has taken advantage of the new system brought in by Coach Paul Johnson at Georgia Tech. Yet, his collegiate career started in 2007 under a more traditional offense. As a backup to Tashard Choice as a true freshman, Dwyer carried the ball 82 times for 436 yards and nine touchdowns. Obviously those numbers went way up when Coach Johnson showed up at Georg...

2. C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson  - 5'11- 195
   C.J. Spiller had to deal with splitting carries with James Davis for most of his career. Even without the entire workload, Spiller has put up some great numbers. As a freshman, Spiller tallied 938 yards on the ground and 12 total trips to the end zone. In 2007 Spiller rushed for 768 yards, but it was during that season he emerged as a great pass catcher out of the ba... Read More
3. Jahvid Best, RB, California  - 5'10- 195
   Best began his career at Cal playing a limited role in 2007 (29 rushed 221 yards 2 TDs), but he exploded in his sophomore campaign. In a season for the ages, the 5-foot-11 back rushed for 1,580 yards, the second most total yarded in school history (J.J. Arrington's 2,018 effort in 2004 tops the list) with a whopping 8.1 yards per carry average -- topping the list of O... Read More
4. Charles Scott, RB, LSU - 6'0- 233
   After spending two seasons as a backup for the LSU Tigers, Scott exploded into national prominence in 2008. The bruising running back racked up 1174 yards on 217 carries (5.4 average) and scored a whopping 18 touchdowns. He was named to the All-SEC First Team by the coaches and All-SEC Second Team by the media. It was slower going for Scott through six games of his se... Read More
5. DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma - 6'1- 214
   DeMarco Murray fought his way into a crowded backfield as a redshirt freshman in 2007. On a team with Allen Patrick and Chris Brown, it was Murray who emerged as the most explosive and dynamic running back at Oklahoma. Both Patrick and Brown got more carries than Murray, but he had a better yards-per-carry average and tallied the most touchdowns with 13. In 2008 Patri... Read More
6. Keiland Williams, RB, LSU  - 6'0- 225
   Williams has plenty of talent, but he has never been a true go-to guy in three years as a member of LSU's backfield. Still, he has managed to post solid numbers. As a freshman in 2006 he carried 76 times for 436 yards and five touchdowns and last year he ran 70 times for 478 yards and six scores while splitting time with Jacob Hester. Through nine games so far in 2008... Read More
7. Javarris James, RB, Miami - 6-0- 215
   Javarris James, cousin of former Miami great and now unemployed NFL star Edgerrin James, immediately made an impact with the Hurricanes. As a freshman he ran for a team high 802 yards and four touchdowns. Ever since then, he has been splitting time with Graig Cooper, but James has still proven to be a quality runner. In 2007 he was not as explosive as Cooper, but he d... Read More
