Danny Woodhead of NE. First white RB since when? (NFL, Browns, Bears)

[kanhawk]

Danny Woodhead is the first white running back I have seen in the NFL in a long time. Maybe I have missed some others how many years has been since the previous white running back?

Hillis. Before Hillis the last white RB to rush for a thousand yards was in the early 80's I believe.

Toby Gerhart, Mike Alstott, and a random bears player from several years ago I remember Brock Forsey off the top of my head.

Mike Alstott was probably the last decent one since Riggins.

um Gerhart and Payton Hillis are the only white RB's i can think of. Is Kuhn a rb or fb?

That'd be Craig James and that was his ONLY claim to fame in the NFL. I was elated when Hillis took it away from him, too.

Odd thread considering Peyton Hillis is still technically the Browns starting Rb.

Pretty sure Kuhn is a FB.

San Diego has Jacob Hester who I think might be listed as a RB. He certainly doesn't have FB size.

[Bondurant]

Yes. Not to mention he's on the cover of Madden. The o.p. must not follow the NFL.

[kidphilly]

What about Riggins?

Pretty sure Ed Marinaro is still with the Vikings and rushed for over 1000 yards. He also was a world reknown actor and came back from the dead while he was a policeman and still had time to date fellow officer Lucy Bates.
