Eh, I'd say it's proof this ranking is trash. UGA has produced a number of NFL stars this decade. Chubb and Gurley are NFL superstars and Michel had one of the better rookie years for a RB this decade.

Meh ...

It's pretty subjective, but I can see how UGA was lower in the rankings. They decided to look at only guys from 1998 on, so off the bat that took out guys like Herschel, Garrison Hearst, Terrell Davis, Robert Edwards, Rodney Hampton, and Tim Worley.

Then, to be honest, the '00's was pretty much a lost decade for RB at UGA with Knowshon Moreno, Thomas Brown, and Kregg Lumpkin being the standouts.

It wasn't until 2012 and the arrival of Todd Gurley that UGA got back on track with producing stud RBs. Gurley, Chubb, Swift, and Michel were all 1st/2nd round guys and all have had big moments in the league already.

If they had focused the timeline from 2010 on, there's no doubt UGA would have been much higher on that list.
