Why would anyone rather be a running back than a linebacker if you aren't Fournette or Adrian Peterson. The future is so much brighter if you are really good at linebacker.
What about the pissed off linebacker Alabama was going to greyshirt, why wouldn't we look at him? I don't think he was highly projected but if we are taking the 78th player in the state and another offensive lineman why not look for a need which is linebacker? http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/eye...-from-alabama-after-being-asked-to-gray-shirt
Carrying the ball and scoring is more fun, gets you more attention, and probably gets you laid more. Would you rather be the lead singer, or the bass player?
If the bass player meant I was gonna have a longer career and make more money, and not just be another dime a dozen I'd choose LB everytime and just try to be Les Claypool.
