Pro Bowl Running Backs

A first team, or primary vote gives a player 2 pts and a second team or runner-up vote gives a player 1 pt. Most points wins. Since 6 people voted, 12 pts would be a unanimous selection.

Pro Bowl Running Backs:

First Team: Chris Johnson (11 pts, 5 1st place votes)

Second Team: Adrian Peterson (7 pts, 1 1st place vote)

No one else received a vote. There have been a couple seasons where only 3 RBs received votes but this is the first time we've only seen 2 vote getters. Which seems to reflect the difficulty in finding a good RB this year.

Chris Johnson had far and away the most points by any RB this year with 232. Peterson was second with only 169. CJ tied for the 3rd most points ever by a RB in a FLOF season with Priest Holmes circa 2002 and behind TD from 1998 and LDT from 2006. His 19.33 pts/gm mark ties him for 4th all time for a RB.

I know I gave CJ a hard time at the beginning of the year -- his first 4 FLOF games started with a 43 pointer but was followed by 3 efforts of 6 pts or LESS. But he never failed to score double digits again all year and 5 of his last 8 games were over 20 pts.

AP was my runner-up as well. He had 7 games of 12 or more pts during the year and only once scored less than 5 pts but he just wasn't as explosive as CJ.
