NFL running backs have been a constant news story lately, and not in a good way for the players who play the position.
The league and its front offices have been very open about the way the game of football is evolving and how each position is going to be paid because of it.
In the not-too-distant past, it was almost taboo to give a player a $1 million salary. Now, guys like Justin Herbert are getting paid contracts worth over $260 million.
Running backs have not had the evolution that quarterbacks have had. In fact, they are going the opposite direction.
