Second contracts are hard to come by.

It's the antithesis of the QB position.

There are never enough good QBs -- but RBs come out of the woodwork every year in rounds 4, 5, 6, 7 and UDFA.

Shortage (QB) = increased demand and price
Surplus (RB) = lower demand and price

Not to mention the short lifespan of most RBs.

Agree --- I know the NFL is not going to make special rules for position but in your opinion, would it make sense if the NFL should adjust the rules to allow RBs to come out after being 2 years removed from HS? Not only does it allow star RBs to get through their rookie contract at a younger age, but it saves so much wear and tear from the hits star RBs take in their Jr year.   Just look at Fournette, he had 300 carries in his Sophomore year then got hurt in his Jr year and only played 7 games.
