    Will be interesting to see how the high performers in this league get viewed by the NFL. Good for Stribling.

    I think it’s really strange that there are so many RBs from Michigan compared to other positions.

      As for the running backs, I think the solid players from other positions in recent years have a) found a job in the league or b) retired from football. Mike McCray II retired from football, Kyle Kalis is still bouncing around, etc. But the running backs have fallen out of the league (Smith, Robinson) or showed some talent but never got a shot (Isaac).
