Ranking the 5 best RBs heading into 2022-23 NFL season ft. Derrick Henry
Running backs are an important piece of every NFL offense. Many of them have dynamic skill sets that allow them to contribute in the passing game as well as the rushing game. A solid running back allows an offense to do many things as a strong rushing attack opens up the playbook for play-action passing.
The 2022-23 NFL season is right around the corner and the league is loaded with elite running backs. Here are the top five players in the position entering the season.
#5 - Alvin Kamara
Alvin Kamara is one of the best dual-threat running backs in the NFL. He has eclipsed 1,300 scrimmage yards in all five seasons of his career so far. He ranked in the top 15 among all offensive players each year since he's entered the league.
Kamara does his damage with a balanced attack and is one of the best overall receiving backs. He has eclipsed 725 rushing yards every year, while also surpassing 425 receiving yards every year, including three seasons with more than 700 receiving yards.

#4 - Christian McCaffrey
Christian McCaffrey has struggled to stay healthy in each of the past two seasons, suffering various injuries and appearing in just 10 total games as a result. However, when he's on the field, he's still one of the best players in the entire NFL and will be hoping to prove that once again in 2022.
McCaffrey dominated in 2018, ranking third in the league in scrimmage yards. He followed that up in 2019 with one of the best all-round performances of all time by a running back. He led the league in scrimmage yards and became just the third player ever to record 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season.
