PML Top 10 Running Backs
The running back position is one that has been devalued by most NFL franchises for years as the league transitions to a more pass heavy league. In the PML it has been quite the opposite. While some teams are able to find success through the air, the majority of clubs do their damage on the ground. The transition for the PML to Next Generation of Madden 21 on PS 5 has been interesting thus far. We have seen numbers in various categories dip for some players who had success on the old generation of Madden 21, while others have new found success. The PML season is only 7 weeks young, but let’s take a look at the Top 10 running backs to this point, and how they are performing thus far on the new generation compared to last season final stats to gauge the impact of the new game play.
