Bell. Still lots of good running backs in the NFL right now. Can't go wrong with most of these guys as your top RB.

I voted Bell , but a lot of contenders that could knock him off his perch.

To me it’s Zeke. Just pounding the rock and grinding out yards. I’d take Leveon for the Eagles though cause we don’t have a smash mouth OLine like Dallas.

I sure will, he can’t get 100 yard games in college now he gonna dominate?
Barkley had 1 game in his entire college career where he got more than 20 carries and didn't break 100 yards and in that game he still had 200 yards of total offense. If you want to don't the guy for getting 8im8 yards on 12 carries feel free. Btw he had more 100+ yard games in college than Bell did at MSU. Just saying

Get back to me if he gets the kind of usage Bell gets.

If he ends up in Cleveland with Tyrod he will get as many or more touches than Bell. Giants probably not so you could be right

Fair enough. Barkleys measurables are insane. That doesn't always mean much at a lot of positions but at RB it translates pretty much always. Plus you are correct in a sense that Barkley didn't get as many touches as you'd expect a guy like him to get but I consider tgat a plus as he's not going to be beat up. Probably his biggest plus in my book is his character though . Obviously I think he's going to need to be utilized properly but if he is he's about as close to a surefire lock as I've ever seen

Barkley's touches last year: 17, 18, 14, 40, 24, 18, 18, 25, 17, 15, 23, 17, 25.

Barkley has almost as many college touches as Chubb

The 40 touches is against the team the rmilla follows so there might be some bias involved but Barkley is generally assumed to come into the league as a top 5 RB.

Honestly I don't really know. PSU has had a lot of blowouts the last few years and Franklin likes to run the read option with McSorley a lot but I've seen Barkley do things I've never seen any other back do so if it were me I'd be giving him the ball far more
