Running Back

Starter: Raheim Sanders
Backup: Dominique Johnson

Arkansas has the potential to have a really nice duo at the running back position this upcoming season. While the running game is going to get a nice boost from Jefferson at the quarterback position, the Razorbacks have capable guys in the backfield as well.

Raheim Sanders or Dominique Johnson might as well be listed as co-starters, as they are both likely to see the same amount of work. Both guys ran for nearly 600 yards last season and have a chance to post similar numbers.

Other than Sanders and Johnson, look for AJ Green to be a player to get some carries this season. Green had 227 yards last season and is a good back to have for depth.
