Question

Are there any white starting running backs? And..who was the greatest white running back in your opinion?

Answer 1

       Jim Brown best all time white rb

Answer 2

Franco Harris of the Pittsburgh Steelers back in the 70's was very good

Answer 3

There are/were white running backs in the football.  The only ones I could come up with off the top of my head are Mike Alstott (Tampa Bay), Rocky Bleier (not Franco Harris for Pittsburgh), Brian Piccolo (Chicago), Nick Goings (Carolina), Brian Leonard (St. Louis), Larry Csonka (Miami), Doak Walker (Detroit) ... and the BEST one being Harold Edward "Red" Grange (a.k.a. "The Galloping Ghost for Chicago)

Answer 4

Paul Hornung?

Answer 5

Larry Csonka of the Miami Dolphins was one of the best running backs

Answer 6

John Riggins is the best white RB to ever play. There really aren't any good ones right now in the NFL.

Answer 7

Doak Walker, Mike Alstott, Daryl the Moose Johnston. Not necessarily in that order.

Answer 8

I don't know about right now but I'd say John Riggins who played with the Jets and Washington.  

Answer 9

dont look at us as white and blacks, were all just peolpe man, and thats what it comes down to.

ha...

Answer 10

right now Jacob hester the bears had one a couple years ago brock foresy from boise st. Best ever would be franco harris.

Answer 11

there are several white RB's in college that start. LSU had Hester that started and won a national championship. Craig James started for the Patroits in the 85 super bowl against the Bears. Mike Alscott was a starting FB/RB and there are a lot of starting white FB's in the NFL. As for the greatest, Doak Walker

Answer 12

As much as I hate the Redskins I gotta say John Riggins.

Answer 13

Franco Harris was half black, half italian. He had an "italian army" of fans that would wear army helmuts with little italian flags on them. No white running backs that start, although Hester might start game 4 of the preseason, if that counts. Goings was mixed, I think. I could be wrong. Even though he grew up around here, and went to OSU before transfering, I never really paid that much attention to his race.

Best ever was probably John Riggens.

Answer 14

starting white rb's.... nope    

most yards - John Riggins (Jets, Redskins)

best ever - Red Grange (Bears)

my favorite - Brian Piccolo (Bears)  gotta watch Brians Song if you've never seen it.

chewy, you're an idiot.  Franco Harris is black.... his fullback, Rocky Bliar was the white dude.

Answer 15

jacob hester will be the best
