Last week we began our annual NFC South positional rankings with Drew Brees at the top of the heap of quarterbacks. Today, we turn our attention towards the division’s talented running back group.

Here are the top six running backs in the division as we head towards the 2019 NFL season.

1. Christian McCaffrey – Panthers

2018 Stats: 219 carries, 1,098 rush yards, 7 rushing TDs, 107 catches, 867 receiving yards, 6 TDs

McCaffrey took the clear lead as the NFC South’s top running back in 2018. He didn’t just go over 1,000 yards rushing on five yards per carry, he also put up an insane league-record for a running back 107 catches for over 800 receiving yards. McCaffrey scored 13 total touchdowns from scrimmage and came just short of a 2,000-yard season. Speed, vision, elusiveness, hands and power – McCaffrey has it all and then some.
