The article notes: "As odd as it might sound, a running back has been the No. 1 pick in the draft only six times since 1970. The first was Ricky Bell, by the Buccaneers in 1977. The last was Ki-Jana Carter, by the Bengals in 1995. The other four -- Earl Campbell (1978), Billy Sims (1980), George Rogers (1981) and Bo Jackson (1986) -- proved very productive, even in injury-shortened stints."
