The last 14 Super Bowls have taught us that a big time, pricy RB isn’t necessary to win it all Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

-A good tweet showed that the highest base salary for any of the leading rushers in the SB over the last 14 years is $2.5 million (Percy Harvin…a WR); and 3 of the last 5 leading rushers in the game made less than $1 million per year

-It seems like there’s a lot of cyclical things in sports…will the NFL/college game ever shift back to run-heavy or will we see more and more passing?

-When you see a 7th round pick like Isaiah Pacheco pan out for the Chiefs, what does that tell you about drafting a RB early in the draft?
