Another NFL season is in the books with the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl. Looking back on the NFL champions since 2009 no champion has had a leading rusher that made more than $2 million as their base salary. The Cleveland Browns, however, have one of the highest-paid running backs on the roster in Nick Chubb.
Another example of the change in offense in the modern NFL as it has become a passing league. It would be safe to assume that teams spending significant dollars on the run game are not ultimately able to take home the Lombardi.
