The Jimmy Smith thread on the main board and the side discussion on Tavian Banks got me thinking about the all time best 3rd down backs.  It was harder to compile this list than I thought, and I would be interested in seeing other perspectives on this.

 

1.  Ronnie Harmon-Bills

2.  Darren Sproles-Chargers-Eagles

3.  Dave Meggett-Giants

4.  Joe Washington-Colts-Skins

5.  Danny Woodhead-Pats-Chargers

6.  Gary Anderson-Chargers-Bucs

7.  Terry Metcalf-Cardinals

8.  Preston Pearson-Steelers & Cowboys

9.  Tony Galbreath-Saints

10.  ???

 

 

 

My criteria are:

 

1.  Typically not a full time starter-which excludes starters like Marcus Allen, Tony Dorsett, & Ricky Watters who were lethal receivers out of the backfield

 

2.  Primarily pass catchers

 

3.  In mostly on passing downs.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
