I'll always give guys like Tevin Coleman an extra bump, based on the fact that when you don't play for a good program, you face all of them.

Should we consider their NFL careers in this question? 

Could he second best season be one that happened on Sundays?

Clarett's second best season was in HS. Like watching a Terminator run against a bunch of ten year olds.

Heh, yeah, Herschel was pretty awesome in HS as well.  

Many of these backs were no doubt men among boys.

2009: 2,465 yards, 26 touchdowns as a freshman
2010: 2,788 yards, 38 touchdowns as a sophomore
2011: 2,610 yards. 34 touchdowns as a junior
2012: 4,260 yards, 55 touchdowns as a senior


That probably is the best running back career ever.
