I played Santonio Beard and i have to agree with him being over rated. I think the best running back that I ever played against was a guy from Whitehaven named Ronte Langs. He was the real deal but went on to play Baseball in the minors. Kyle Gowen from MUS was no slouch either. He didnt strike fear in you from looking at him but if you ask anyone that played against him they will tell you that he was one of the hardest guys to tackle. He put up like 1800 yards as a soph in 4A public/ private division and was plagued by injuries his senior year but he was a good one. He was a really good back. But from all the teams I played against or watch play I would say Ronte Langs was the best I saw. Fleming was good and the BA backs from the 90's (esp. Tito) were good as well but my vote is for Ronte'
