Veteran Running Backs Set to Lose Touches in 2019

Running backs these days have a shelf life about as long as raw chicken.

There has been some great rookie running back draft classes in recent years. This year wasn't one of those.

They Took Who??? Teams That Confused Us by Drafting the Wrong Player
