At LSU, playing running back has some big shoes to fill. It dates back to the first-ever No. 1 overall draft pick in school history, Billy Cannon. He was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the 1960 NFL draft. Cannon was also taken by the Houston Oilers in the AFL, where he spent his first four seasons. He also played for the Raiders and Chiefs in his 11-year career.
Other top backs include Leonard Fournette, Kevin Faulk, Dalton Hilliard, Joseph Ossai, Spencer Ware, and the latest being Clyde Edwards-Helaire. This season the duo of Tyrion Davis-Price and John Emery Jr looks to be next on the list. They need to have much better campaigns than they did a season ago.
