The Titans, Browns and Colts have three players who could be considered the best running backs in the National Football League right now. They haven’t won Super Bowl rings yet and you don’t have to be Super Bowl champions to be the best at a position, but with a couple of tweaks to their teams they could make it to the big game.

Derrick Henry with the Titans has proven to be a key piece for the team despite the fact that he missed much of the 2021 NFL season due to a foot injury, the return played in the playoffs but the loss of the Titans was disappointing .

Chubb and Taylor are also considered high-importance players within the Browns and Colts but those teams need a lot of work within the offensive and defensive line to take advantage of the full power of both players.
