Alot of RB's were traded or aquired via free agency during the NFL Off-season, who do you think will make their mark on their new team?

Ooooh - GOOD QUESTION!
I voted McGahee. He's still young, even with his knee injury he was great with buffalo, and he'll be running behind a solid line in Baltimore. He should succeed where Jamal Lewis got tentative.

I think that Travis Henry, could have a great season because Denver have a knack for getting their RB's over 1,000 yards a season. Here are their 1,000+ yard RB's since 1998.Terrelle Davis 2,008 yards in 1998 Orlandis Gary 1,159 yards in 1999 in only 12 games as a rookie Mike Anderson 1,487 yards in 2000 as a rookie & 1,014 yards in 2005 Clinton Portis 1,508 yards in 2002 as a rookie & 1,591 yards in 2003 Reuben Droughns 1,240 yards in 2004 Tatum Bell 1,025 yards in 2006, after 921 yards in 2005 Different names all pretty much the same result!

Does anybody really want to play in Detroit? Thanksgiving Day game is the only highlight they get each season! And Barry Sanders was the last real "star" they had!

What are you smoking? McGahee (my choice) is 3rd in the NFL this year in rushing yards. Yeah, he as 2 less TDs but he also has fewer fumbles, and it's not his fault he's the only offensive weapon Baltimore has. He'd have twice as many TDs if he was playing in Cleveland's offense.

Last year Ryan Grant had a huge year since he started playing for the packers in week 8. He rushed for the most yards since week 8 (1000+). If he plays as well as he did last year, he'll be by far one of the best running backs in the NFL for years to come.

its good the packers found a solid running game because they will need it a bit more next season. grant and jackson should be able to bust out some good yards and with hall lead blocking for them they should easily be able to gain 4-5 yrds a carry
