Expect to hear soon from the crowd against choosing a running back early in the NFL Draft.
Four of the seven running backs selected in the first two rounds of the 2018 NFL Draft are on the shelf before the season even begins.
Injuries are a big part of the game in the NFL, but running backs are known to feel more of the wear-and-tear from the physicality of big hits than other players at other positions. That's why so many young fresh-legged backs have success straight out of college and why so many stars fade before their 30th birthday.
