    McCaffrey is #1 regardless of what any writer thinks, it’s not even remotely debatable. I like Zeke, Kamara, Henry, Barkley and Cook. It’s splitting hairs after Mcaffrey with the rest

    Yeah, I would put McCaffrey at the number 1 spot. He can do it all, last season he had over 1,000 yards rushing and receiving and 19 TDs. Apparently Nick Chubb feels disrespected because he posted the rankings on his instagram page.

    Chubb had a nice season and is in good company, I haven’t looked at all the numbers but the 8 TD’s probably didn’t help him too much

    I think Chubb is just offended and maybe even hurt, because he wasn't in the top tier on the list. You know how players have that "I'm the best" mentality. On the defensive side, I'm looking forward to seeing Chase Young in action, he was a beast at OSU, and I want to see how he adjusts to the NFL.

    It’s easy to offend or “Disrespect” these guys, I don’t have a problem with Chubb though. Like I said I think he was downgraded for have just 8 TD’s maybe. And yes Young should be a beast!!

    when Henry is going good he is hard to beat. He put his team on his back down the stretch

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    You’ll see Devin Singletary climb that list very quickly. The combination of his running and Josh Allen will put the Bills offensive on the radar this year.

    Singletary put the ball on the ground a little too often for my liking but damn he’s fun to watch. When the Bills needed to run clock Gore didn’t do anything spectacular but you could be confident he’d hold onto it. Zack Moss may be the next bruiser but rookies are rookies. Kinda like a box of chocolates.
