Which college produced the most NFL running backs?

I'm entering my junior year and I play as a running back for my high school's football team. I'd love to know, which colleges have the best track records for training successful NFL running backs?

The most prolific colleges that have produced NFL running backs can be a bit subjective, as it may vary depending on what criteria you're using, like the total number of NFL running backs produced, the statistical success of the running backs in the NFL, or even the current reputation of the college's football program.

Nevertheless, the University of Alabama, University of Southern California (USC), and the University of Georgia are generally considered to be high-ranking when it comes to producing successful NFL running backs historically and in recent years. Let's break it down a bit:

- University of Alabama: Famous for their strong running game, they've produced notable NFL running backs such as Derrick Henry, Mark Ingram, Josh Jacobs, and Najee Harris among others.

- University of Southern California (USC): They have a particularly rich history of excellent running backs, including the likes of O.J Simpson, Marcus Allen, Reggie Bush, and recently Ronald Jones II.

- University of Georgia: The Bulldogs have also made significant contributions to the list of NFL running backs, generating talent like Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, and Sony Michel.

Just remember, while it's exciting to plan for a future in professional sports, it's also essential to prioritize your academics and consider the overall fit of the college for you beyond just the sports program. Try and identify colleges that offer strong programs in your areas of academic interest, alongside their athletic programs. It's always good to have a balanced approach toward your college selection process - best of luck!
