Sorry, Stephen, you aren't close to the 2nd best Auburn back of all-time.

I'd rank them, in terms of college production:
1) Bo
2) Cadillac
3) James Brooks
4) Cribbs
5) Ronnie Brown (would of ranked higher had he got more touches)
6) Stephen Davis

Well if you talking just college, he maybe right! Cribbs was one hell of a college back.

Well, he probably means in terms of Auburn backs producing in the NFL. In that case, he'd be right (although Williams and Ronnie will both pass him up, as wekk as Rudi Johnson), but if you are talking about top Auburn backs while in college, Davis isn't even top 5.

Here's their all-time rushing list. Davis is #5 and has a higher yards-per-carry than any of the other top-5 backs not named Bo Jackson (who's unquestionably the best Auburn RB of all-time).
NOTE - Notice Rudi Johnson made the top-20 in only 1 season.......Somewhat impressive.

it's who's the best back AT auburn, not the best auburn back to do well in the NFL
Kas took the words out of my mouth. if it's about career including NFL Stephen Davis is arguably the best. If it's who was the best at Auburn there's Bo and then the rest!
