Yeldon was part of a recent lineage of dominant Alabama running backs. His 37 rushing touchdowns ranks him No. 16 all-time in SEC history. Check out this incredible 68-yard touchdown run by Yeldon against Ole Miss in 2013:
 
 





#3 Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

Richardson was another one of Nick Saban's running back monsters. Richardson was the 2011 SEC Offensive Player of the Year and won the Doak Walker award that year as well. He also finished third in the Heisman voting for his tremendous season and was a Consensus All-American. His 43 career touchdowns are the No. 14-best in SEC history. In another run against Ole Miss, check out Richardson's incredible juke move that helped him score on a 76-yard touchdown run:
