We know the history of the great backfields in Miami Hurricanes history. From Ottis Anderson to Melvin Bratton to Edgerrin James, and onto the great backfields of the early 2000s with Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, Najeh Davenport, James Jackson, and Willis McGahee, Miami has had some absolute monsters in the backfield.
An argument could be made that Miami’s 2021 backfield combo of Donald Chaney, Jr., Cam Harris, Jaylan Knighton, and Thad Franklin are the best the school has ever had with the exception of 2000-2001, at least ability-wise. That’s a ton of still-to-be-tapped talent in the backfield.
