Running backs are back.
After much discussion in 2023 about a running back’s place in the world, the 2024 NFL offseason has proven that they, indeed, hold a lot of value. Running back vibes are at an all-time high.
In college football, an elite running back can change a game much faster than in the NFL. Fresher legs, wackier schemes, and less all-around talent can make one individually talented player carry an entire offense or defense. I think Nick Singleton can be that guy for Penn State in 2024.
I remember exactly when I knew Singleton was special.
