VOTE: Rutgers Football’s most talented backfields ever

With news that Gus Edwards and now Robert Martin are both on NFL rosters, it validated what most Rutgers fans are aware, the 2017 edition of the Scarlet Knights had legitimate running back talent. To be on an NFL roster, one usually requires enough physical talent to even compete with the elite athletes at the sport’s highest level. Of course the rules are different now than they were say ... in the 1920s with offseason roster limits and just because a player did not pursue the NFL doesn’t mean he couldn’t have played if he wanted too (Bill Austin comes to mind).
