Jamaal Charles has been one of the most consistent running backs in the NFL since entering the league in 2008.

Excluding his rookie campaign and 2011, when he only played in two games due to injury, Charles has rushed for more than 1,000 yards and five touchdowns in every season.

Last season is really what helped bolster the three-time Pro Bowler’s presence on this list. Not only did he rank third in the NFL in rushing yards (1,287), but he racked up 12 scores on the ground to go with a career-high 70 receptions and seven receiving TDs.

Charles has proven to be one of the most versatile backs in this league, and if he can remain healthy and put together another season like he had in 2013, he’ll probably find himself in the top five here.
