While most NFL positions are seeing salaries increase as a result of players setting the market, that isn’t the case for running backs. The league’s star runners are struggling to successfully find lucrative contracts as teams continue to devalue their position.
One veteran back who remains unsigned is Melvin Gordon, and the 30-year-old still believes he can play. However, while appearing on The Jim Rome Show, Gordon explained the reality of the running back position.
“It’s just so tough for running backs right now,” he said. “You have a lot of running backs out there, we just don’t get no love. It’s literally the worst position to play in the NFL right now, it literally sucks.”
