Thoughts from the Panel


"It's Adrian by a mile … the 2012 [NFL] MVP." — Paul Allen


"I think he was the best running back, period, in the NFL for the decade. … When you look back, you realize how much teams did to scheme to stop him, and they still couldn't do it. That's a man, and a great running back." — Pete Bercich

C.J. Ham (fullback), 2017-2019


Fan Vote: 3,771


Stats from the Decade: 47 games, 20 rushing attempts for 38 yards (1.9 yards per carry) with a rushing touchdown; 35 receptions for 302 yards and a touchdown


Thoughts from the Panel


"I went with C.J. Ham by an inch over Jerome [Felton] … this is a race to the wire won by C.J. [because of] his special teams work. Now, that's not technically as a fullback, but as a fullback, he was impeccable. The way he was utilized in the offense this year with his pass-catching ability … he was a super-accomplished tailback in college, so he had to kind of change and morph into what he's doing now." — Paul Allen
