The NFC North has been home to many of the league’s great running backs in recent years. Adrian Peterson was dominant in the Minnesota Vikings offense for many years, while Matt Forte‘s receiving ability made him tough for any defense to stop. For a couple of seasons when Eddie Lacy was at the top of his game, he was one of the league’s best at the position.
But the NFC North is now loaded with young talent at the running back position. The likely starters for each team in 2019 are all 24 years old or younger.
