3) Bo Jackson. I know he seems out of place here, but while he played, he was amazing. Speed, moves, everything. Ever play Sega?
4) Emitt Smith. Maybe it's something about the last name. But a Smith hung around in Washington too long just like Emitt did in Dallas and Arizona. Regardless, he was an amazing back, who was a partial-product of the system.
5) Ledannian Tomlinson. If I put someone with the lack of years on my list as Bo Jackson, LT deserves a spot. He's been the most productive back in football for years.
6-10. Other people.

I completely and totally disagree with Eric Campbell in your top five...Earl Campbell maybe, but not Eric
I'm surprised I haven't really heard any mention of Edgerrin James or Tiki Barber (unless I missed it) when talking about active running backs
I'm not saying these following guys are top 10 by any means but let me just ask you where they might rank
Herschel Walker
Ricky Watters
Ottis Anderson
