Running Back Edgerrin James

Edgerrin James came from a line of great running backs at Miami, and he was a no-brainer pick at number four overall in the 1999 NFL Draft.

Peyton Manning had been drafted the year before, and the Colts were able to put a four-time Pro Bowl running back behind him in the backfield.
