The Galloping Ghost
Steve Van Buren

Johnny "Blood" McNalley
Hugh "King" McElhenny
Frank Gifford
Jim Taylor
Paul Hornung
John Riggins
1000 yard rushers
Rick Casares
John David Crow,,,,Paul Brown talked about trading Jim Brown to get this guy.
Craig James
Peyton Hillis
studs
Keith Lincoln
Dickie Post
Alan "The Horse" Ameche
Alex Webster

So white running backs are nothing new.
But....McCaffrey has an unfair advantage, here is is grandpa at the 1960 Olympics, he is in lane one.
