Tyreek Hill names his all-time top-5 running backs and forgets about elite players
Tyreek Hill is one of the fastest players in the NFL, which has led some fans to believe that he would have excelled as a running back. However, he made the decision to play as a wide receiver, and he has proven to be one of the best at his position.
The former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver talked on his own podcast called “It Needed to be Said”, which you can find on the Vocal Podcast Network, about running backs. Hill named the players who he thinks are the best of all-time of this position, forgetting about some remarkable names:
- Adrian Peterson
- Derrick Henry
- Barry Sanders
- Gale Sayers
- Eric Dickerson
Some fans judged Hill’s list, as they think he forgot to name some elite players like Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith or Jim Brown. However, it’s his opinion and everyone must respect that.
