For my 2,000th post, I'd like to expand this discussion on NFL position players.

Here, I'd like to discuss NFL running backs.

Who do you consider the 5 best running backs in each conference?

Also, what does it take to be a good running back? Speed? Power? Scoring a lot of touchdowns?

Their are so many good RBs, it's hard to pick and choose every one

Adrian Peterson
LT
Portis
Marion Barber
Westbrook
Michael Turner
DeAngelo Williams- The 2 RBs in Carolina
Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw
Chris Johnson
Slayton on Houston
Jamal Lewis

their are so many great RBs in the NFL, that's just the top of the list, so many more.

I think skill, speed, ability to maneuver in between the blockers and athleticism makes a good or great RB

I also think RBs that can catch the ball (for a lot of yards) & run the ball effectively are good..
