As shocking as it seems, UGA only has 2 running backs in the NFL basing on current rosters....Gurley, and Marshall.

Do you want to make an argument for UGA?

They currently have Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall in the NFL. Todd Gurley's one of the best in the NFL, while Keith Marshall was a 7th round pick, has been injured, and he has zero career carries.

So, Georgia basically has one RB in the NFL, while every other school on the list has a least 3 RBs who are either lead backs or heavy contributors in the NFL.

Yep...

If we're talking strictly recruiting, there's no way UGA can be left out of the top 5 for RBs

It's not based on recruiting though, it's based on actual

results...UGA currently has ONE RB with a carry in the NFL...Clemson has more...Case closed

That probably still won't be enough to overtake 5th Place FSU. FSU would still have Devonta Freeman (starter for ATL), Dalvin Cook (starter for MIN), and Chris Thompson (3rd down back for WAS).

Until Chubb or Michel become a starter, I still don't see UGA as top-5 for this list unless you also want to claim Crowell.

pretty hard to make a case for a school with ONE active RB***
