What Otis did on some not very good teams is really impressive. Additionally, in his day, running the football was the norm unlike the pass happy offenses of today.

Still a very difficult choice between these 3.

Chuck Foreman

My favorite NFL player.

Miami(FL) is how players were identified on TV or in the newspaper.

Edge. That UCLA game is the tiebreaker.

Edge

Pre-ACL Edge was phenomenal. He still went to the HOF, but wasn’t quite the same since ACL recovery wasn’t what it is now back then. I’m not sure I saw a better RB, maybe prime Ricky Williams and Adrian Peterson, that’s it.

 

[K.O.M.A.]

Edge but man watching that Washington beatdown footage again made me realize how fast Mcgahee hit the hole,(no pause, **** that). He was full speed in three steps

 

[mcnaire2004]

Dang, hard to go against Edge at all. But bring me Willis!

Would love to have seen Ottis on the great teams.

 

[Golsen82]

Ottis

 

[Carolinacane83]

EDGE. Another U HOF

 

[DTP]

Ottis Anderson was before my time.

Willis McGahee had the best single season for a RB ever at Miami.

Edge had the best career and did most of his work with mediocre quarterback play.

 

[TRick72]

Edge but I reserve the right to change my answer if we need a halfback pass in the snow

Did not get to see OJ he was a little before my time, but I seen both EJ and Willis and it's **** near impossible to choose out of those 2. If I had to take 1 based on what I seen from both I would pic Willis, to me he had the most dominant season in the history of UM RBs.

Uninjured Frank Gore

 

[Bird4um]

I remember hearing Sony yelling Leonard Connely's name a lot...

 

[Dwinstitles]

Wanted to pick WM cause of the size and speed (Pause) but Edge has that patience vision and lateral movement second to none. Give me EJ

 

[Nickkcin]

Edge, but honestly I think it's 1a,b,c here. I just love the idea of Edge being the apb for Cam... plus behind this line I think he obliterates the single season McGahee has

 

[Virgil Cane24]

Edge

Go Canes!

 

[CaneInMD]

No wrong answer. But, I'd have to go with Edge. WM being a very close 2nd, more like a 1b
