As mentioned before....which position has seen more ligament tears when the player was untouched, CB or RB? You don't need to answer - I know I'm right here. I've seen many instances over the years of CB's tearing up their knees on mere cuts with no contact whatsover on the play. The vast majority of RB knee injuries usually occur with the aid of opponent contact. 

 

 

My argument here is more about stress on the knee from the position BEFORE adding any outside influences such as contact from an opponent. 

 

CB > RB

 

there are also at least 2 CBs playing on defense at all times and the 2 main guys take more snaps per game than runningbacks.

 

so if that is even true that more cb than rb have knee injuries, the fact that there is a more abundant amount of them on the field and more playing time would directly correlate to the quantity.
