Madden NFL 16 Guide

Some teams build their entire offence around running backs. While a good quarterback is useful, handing the ball off to an elusive and powerful sprinter who can literally carry teams to the play-offs is an equally effective strategy.

Below are the top five running backs in Madden NFL 16, along with their best stats to show just how good they are. Some players are powerhouses who can steamroll entire defensive lines, while others are just as effective running routes and acting as an extra receiver. Knowing what makes them stand above the rest will help you through both GM and player careers, selecting future draft prospects in the mould of these players or crafting your own HB with a similar skill set.
