John Riggins ran with the best forward lean out of any RB in NFL history. Even if he didn't see you, all you ran into was nothing but shoulders

:salute:

Dude was brutal running into people, he finished strong as shyt as a 3rd down back as well.

I remember Giants having a black punter a few years ago. He was kicking the fool out that ball, i guess he just wasnt that accurate
Rodney Williams

He had a leg but was neither consistant nor accurate......but that leg tho :whoo:

Do they exist?

If not, who was the last one?

Also black punters and field goal kickers?
They try but their ding dong gets in the way. Genetics and all.






















That was a joke. This doesn't need to get moved to the race track.

fact of the matter is, there's just not that many white boys running 4.3 40's with the prototypical body type, size, and lateral agility to be a running back...

Woodhead is the only smaller white boy that comes to mind, the rest are usually all power runners

same reason you never see any white corners... they just don't have the athleticism for that shyt; shout out to garbage ass Jason Sehorn though
:comeon:

none of this is true. The reason why there arent any is down to positional stereotyping from a young age on up. Its the same reason why black people "were not meant" to play QB.

White people are the most populous group in this country, so just by numbers there has to be many white dudes who could be a good running back or cornerback.

so if it's positional sterotyping, since they obviously "weren't meant to be RB's and CB's", which position are the 6'1 215 lb. white boys who run a 4.3 40 and have uncanny vision and lateral agility playing on the field, then? Please enlighten me.

I didnt say professional, I said before they get to the pros. Could have been option QBs who were told to add weight and work on their passing in HS. A rack of them could have become tight ends in college as well.

They could also be playing other sports, or not in sports at all.

Its the same stuff with white people not being athletic enough to play basketball. All you have to do is watch a volleyball game to know thats bullshyt.

shyt, you all look at John Riggins as a big goon running back without knowing that he broke all of Gale Sayers' records at Kansas and ran a 4.4 early on in his career.
