The last white running back the NFL had was John Riggins with the Redskins back in 1982.

No -- Craig James, Zach Zenner, several fullbacks if you want to consider them running backs.

McCaffrey comes from a serious gene pool. His father was a wide receiver for several years with the Broncos. His uncle was an all-American basketball player for Duke and Vanderbilt. His maternal grandfather was an Olympic sprinter and all-American baseball player for Duke.

Your right.

I forgot about Merril Hoge too.

I used to like Rob Carpenter of the Giants.

Speaking of White football players, I miss the NY Sack Exchange. #gastineau #cockeyedklecko #lyons

Gastineau was doing really well until he hooked up with Bridgette Nielson after Schwarzenegger and Stalone had her.



However, my favorite sack was Joe Theisman. It hurts me every time I watch it...

I was at the game. Fortunately didn't get a good look at the play because I was sitting low in the corner of the end zone at the other end of the field. Have never seen the footage, and don't want to.

Don't forget the Steel Curtain (pka '76 Steelers defense!!!!)
