Every State's Best Homegrown Running Back

By Nick Selbe on October 28, 2015

Prior to today's pass-happy NFL, the sport spent the majority of its storied history dominated by marquee running backs. Because of the long-standing philosophy of establishing the run to set up the passing game, the league has a strong track record of all-time great running backs.

Similar to legendary quarterbacks, plenty of running backs are strongly associated with their home states. Marcus Allen grew up in San Diego, starred in college at USC and won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Raiders. And before he won a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Dorsett attended high school in Aliquippa, Penn., and won the Heisman Trophy while playing for Pittsburgh.

Other legendary tailbacks' home states are not as well-known, so PointAfter has decided to find each state's most statistically successful running back. We made each state's selection based on their career rushing yards (min. 2,000 career rushing yards), and made a few substitutions where the stats didn't tell the full story.

Absent from this list are 10 states that have not produced a 2,000-yard rusher: Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont. We'll rank the other 40 states — plus Washington, D.C. — in reverse order, based on the total career rushing yards of each state's best statistical running back in NFL history.
