Top 3 RB's currently in NFL

[thegreatdiatchi]

My rankings are as follows:

1. LT
2. Brian Westbrook
3. Adrian Peterson

I think you are going to slowly see LT wear down over the next few years. I think Westbrook is the best all-around RB when he's healthy but his health is why I don't have him as #1. I think Peterson will be a great RB but alot of his stats last year were padded by that Vikings OL.

Heh - I think Peterson's stats were padded by all those 20+ yard runs...

Don't forget, Peterson was seeing 8 in the box the whole season, not to mention his own coach limiting his carries. The knock on Peterson is that he's injury prone. Time will tell whether he can hold up over the long term in the NFL. Remember, Bo Jackson was one of the greatest NFL RBs of all time, but he couldn't stay on the field.

But, yeah, Peterson, LT, Westbrook are the 3 big guns at RB in the NFL right now. Next level is probably Portis, Gore, Steven Jackson.

Yeah, he commands a crowded box and still makes plays. You're not going to contain this guy playing any other way consistently, I think the Vikings will really turn the page in terms of their offensive dominance if they can just establish a solid passing attack.
