The SEC has produced some of the best backs in college football, but those backs have had some mixed results in the NFL.

Over the past 10 years, seven SEC runners have been selected in the first round of the NFL Draft and, true to form, some have been great while others have been mediocre or worse.

A couple more SEC running backs might hear their names called in the first round on Thursday night, but that isn’t a guarantee at this point (see below). If they do go in Round 1, though, they’ll have some great company at the top of this list.

Here’s a look at how each of the seven SEC first-round running backs taken this decade stacks up against one another:

1. Todd Gurley, Georgia — No. 10, 2015

The SEC had 7 of the 20 RBs taken in the first round of the past 10 drafts. No other league had more than 4.

Gurley is a no-brainer for the No. 1 spot based on his 2017 season alone. He led the Los Angeles Rams to the playoffs by amassing 1,305 rushing yards and 788 receiving yards, combining for 19 total touchdowns. He earned the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year award and is primed for another big year in 2018.

2. Mark Ingram, Alabama — No. 28, 2011

Ingram has really come on strong the past couple of years, running for 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons. Having Alvin Kamara as his backfield teammate in 2017 definitely helped, as both players had incredible years. Ingram has hit his stride, and with Kamara on board, he has the chance to extend his prime for a few more seasons.

3. Darren McFadden, Arkansas — No. 4, 2008

McFadden recently called it quits on his NFL career, and what a roller coaster of a career it was. At his best, McFadden was one of the better runners in the league, rushing for 1,000 yards twice — once for the Oakland Raiders and once for the Dallas Cowboys. His career numbers — 5,421 rushing yards and 33 total touchdowns — won’t earn him a spot in the Hall of Fame, but it was a nice career for the former Razorback.

4. Leonard Fournette, LSU — No. 4, 2017

Obviously, Fournette has a chance to move much higher on this list in the coming years, as he only has one year of NFL experience under his belt. As a rookie last fall, he ran for 1,040 yards and 9 touchdowns and added 302 yards and another score as a receiver. The Jaguars are a team on the rise, and it’s in large part to Fournette.

5. Knowshon Moreno, Georgia — No. 12, 2009

Moreno was a dynamic runner at Georgia, but that didn’t quite carry over to the NFL. He ran for 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2013 and became the first Denver Broncos running back to run for 1,000 yard and eclipse the 500-yard receiving mark (548) in a single season. Still, the Broncos cut him after the season and he only lasted three more games in the NFL (with the Miami Dolphins) before an ACL injury prematurely ended his career.

6. Felix Jones, Arkansas — No. 22, 2008

Jones was McFadden’s partner in the Arkansas backfield in the mid-2000s, but his NFL career didn’t go quite as well as his former teammate’s. Jones spent six years in the league, rushing for 2,912 yards and 11 touchdowns. He did have 1,125 yards and three scores as a receiver, but it wasn’t enough to extend his career any further.

7. Trent Richardson, Alabama — No. 3, 2012

Richardson never lived up to expectations in the NFL, spending only a year and a half with the Cleveland Browns before the Indianapolis Colts inexplicably traded a first-round pick for him. He is in the Canadian Football League and hasn’t given up hope of returning to the NFL, but for now, he’s had one of the worst NFL careers of any SEC running back.

Will we have another first-round SEC RB in 2018?

That isn’t a sure thing like it was last year with Fournette, but there are a couple of possibilities. The safest bet is Fournette’s former LSU teammate, Derrius Guice. Guice is projected as a mid-to-late first-round pick, and is considered by many to be the second-best back in the 2018 class, behind only Penn State’s Saquon Barkley.

Another possibility is Georgia’s Sony Michel, who some have been comparing to Kamara. If that hype continues to grow, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a team in need of a running back trade back into the first round to grab the former Bulldog.
