Who is the next white running back to gain 1000 yards
will there been one?...toby gerhart has a chance but not playing behind chris johnson. of recent memory mike alstott, craig james, merril hodge, and john riggins have been very good....marc van eghan, john capeletti....james had great speed while the rest were bruising type runners.

I believe james was the last one to rush for 1000K.

Are there any white running backs that are starters? Seriously, I cant think of any & the one name that came to me would have been Toby Gerhart. However with him being a backup to AP, that wont ever happen.

I would say we will see it again at some point in the future, but not in the next few years anyways.

Although he's not going into the season as the starter Peyton Hillis of the Borwns might be the only guy I can think of with a shot this year.

This year USC has a freshmen who's white who is supposed to be pretty nasty. Maybe him in a few years?
