In the current NFL, the running back position is the least stable of all. According to Sports researcher Christina Gough running backs often have the shortest careers. There is a lot of churn and fresh talent entering the game. In the NFL the days of lead running backs playing three downs for the same team every week. For years on end are long gone. Platoons, timeshares, and rotations that saw rookies quickly take over for more seasoned players have largely supplanted that approach. Every year, proven backs are traded in for cheap free agents. Also, the best rookies at the position are no longer guaranteed a spot in the first round of the draft.
