I was watching some old games on youtube, and I found there have been a lot of good, productive, SLOW running backs. In the 2006 Florida-Alabama game, each team had one: DeShawn Wynn always looked like he was hobbling around, never actually running, much less running fast. And Kenneth Darby, a guy many probably don't even remember, had two 1,000 yard season for Bama.
These are guys that might have run a 4.6 or 4.65 or something at the combine or their pro day, but on a normal day, in a game, they're running 4.7 or worse...and still getting yards. Many may be bigger guys, but not necessarily.
Florida's all-time leading rusher was slow as hell - Errict Rhett. He weighed 215 but played like he was 240.
Dayne was slow, but a bowling ball, obviously.

Cory Clement

All those Minnesota RBs when they had 2-3 get 1000 yd seasons like 15 years ago
