15. Franco Harris

Franco Harris paved the way for the two running backs ranked behind him, Jerome Bettis and Jamal Lewis.

Harris is the most physical runner in NFL history, and he was one of the biggest, toughest men to play running back.

Harris was a huge part of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ four Super Bowl victories during the 1970s and early 80s. Harris finished his career with 12,120 rushing yards in 13 seasons and ranks 13th all-time in total rushing yards.
