    Perkins was the best receiving running back we ever had by far... IMO - I think he could have played wide receiver if he wanted (that's obviously an embellishment to make my point)
    Probably would have kicked ass (again) in the Airbone
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    I was a very young dude but what I know about he and Ode would be right up at the top! Here is another back, Marcus Rhoden, fastest RB in our history.
    from my years of watching--Rhoden-Ode and Walter Packer were maybe the fastest. MR could for sure return a punt and kickoff.

    the game in jackson --where we knocked Reggie out of the Game--only to hear the Roar when he returned and hurt our feelings.

    I would take Walter Packer every year to be my running back. Dude wasn’t just fast but was pretty tough for his size. No telling how many tear away jersey’s he went thru over his career. Watching Felker run the Veer was magic especially the last second pitch to Packer.

    I like your underrated picks in Vick Ballard and Bowling ball. They both were tough and never went backwards! Ballard also went on to have some success in the NFL with the Colts but ended up getting injured and never really recovered. Colts fans really loved him too

    Yeah, I just loved Ballard's attitude and effort. Just doesn't get any better.

    Anyone remember a guy named James Jones? Wonder how he would've ended up if he didn't get his knee torn up. He did eventually get drafted by the Cowboys and did get some PT behind Dorsett.
