The same reason that more graduate assistants don't move to be head coaches within a year. Same logic

RB is a position with an extremely short shelf life and extremely low on the food chain of money at the next level. Plenty of kids are choosing from an early age to focus on WR or LB because it’s a better path. Hard to convince someone to go in the reverse.

Half of the great Alabama or LSU LBers from this decade would’ve played RB 20 years ago.


Hell, just four years ago Devin White was recruited as a RB and had to have “the talk” before agreeing to the switch. Obviously it turned out to be a wise business decision for him.

Devin could’ve won a Heisman as a RB if that’s what he wanted to do.

I mean That LF7 was the ideal. Obviously not everyone looks like the prototype

But most of these guys were basically limited to third down option (outside Sanders)
