Another year, another absolutely loaded depth chart at the running back position across the AFC North. It’s remarkable.
Of the four projected starting running backs in the AFC North ahead of the 2022 season, three made the Pro Bowl in 2021, more than any other division in the NFL, those being Cleveland’s Nick Chubb, Cincinnati’s Joe Mixon, and Pittsburgh’s Najee Harris. That’s truly incredible. It’s a star-studded position in the AFC North, which made this year’s version of my Ranking the Rooms: AFC North RBs series rather hard to boil down.
There’s a clear-cut top choice for me, which remains relatively the same for the last four seasons, but after that it’s truly a toss up.
