host Thorn Eistrom. Today I am joined by a very special guest one of my favorites

0:09.7

in the entire industry Tony Pauline a pro football network to discuss a very

0:14.2

deep running back class Tony are you ready to get after it today? I hope I'm

0:18.8

up to the challenge store. Awesome. Well let's get right into it we have a lot

0:22.9

to discuss. We're gonna start out by talking about each of our top five

0:26.0

running backs. So Tony why don't you kick us off with your RB five in this

0:29.3

class? In order to be B. John Robinson of Texas who I believe is a consensus

0:34.3

number one at the position. I then liked your mere Gibbs of Alabama Taijee

1:22.2

Texas A&M offense that had a lot a lot of problems last year he was the go-to

1:26.8

guy that defenses couldn't stop. I don't know that he's in every down back but I
