NFL Dream Team- Fullbacks and Running Backs

Fullbacks (2): Tony Richardson (Jets) and LeRon McClain (Ravens): Both of these players give us what we want in a fullback, they can block at the point of the attack. They are the prototypical I formation fullback, and they could also get out of the backfield if they have to.

Running Backs (4): Adrian Peterson (Vikings), Chris Johnson (Titans), Michael Turner (Falcons), and Maurice Jones-Drew (Jaguars): Peterson, fumbling issues aside, is still one of the most dominating backs in all of football. He is a star, and you need him in your dream backfield. Johnson is the most exciting and explosive back in the NFL, and for this team he could be the back you could use in a lot of nickel situations and spread formations. Turner would fill the role of the short yardage and goal line back. Jones-Drew could be the third down option, and he is also very effective at blitz pickup.
