This summer, Zimmerman tackled the running back position, this time with a more analytical approach.Zimmerman ranked backs on a point system (within tiers), awarding 1 point for every 1,000 yards from scrimmage they recorded in their career, 5-4 points if they made the All-Decade team, 5 points for MVP seasons, 4 points for Offensive Player of the Year seasons, 3-2 points for All-Pro seasons and 1 point for Pro Bowl seasons.Once it was all totaled up, here were the Packers who made the top-100 list all-time and where they placed:#31: Jim Taylor, 40 points“The only person to lead the NFL in rushing not named Jim Brown from 1957 to 1965.”
