Posted by Stiletto Jen 8,259 views

Welcome to the Stiletto Sports 2009 NFL Fantasy Boy Draft! The real NFL draft begins Saturday, April 25. The Stiletto Sports Draft, however, doesn’t fully kick off (pun not really intended…) until Monday, April 27

Before you start creating your mock draft teams we recommend you check out the Scouting Reports for the players. They are packed with pictures to help you determine who should be playing on your team!

The Running and Full Back 2009 Scouting Report

Running backs need to be extremely quick and extremely powerful since they are the guys that are trying to burst their way through the defense. They tend to be short, compact and jammed pack full of hard muscles!

There are over 39 Running and Full Backs in the 2009 NFL Draft. I went through all the pics and pulled out a sampling of the best ones for you to pick from! Sometimes the players are actually good and hot at the same time!

Note: this are not ranked in draft order, NFL ranks or even in terms of hotness. It’s just a list!

Donald Brown
LeSean McCoy
Knowshon Moreno
Kahlil Bell
Tony Fiammetta
Ian Johnson
Brannan Southerland
Aaron Brown
Rashad Jennings
Javon Ringer

Feel free to look for more in the complete list of Running Backs but I think I pulled out the best!

Kahlil Bell, UCLA

again, he might not be the in top ten….or twenty…running backs to go in the draft but I think he’s a cutie!

From ESPN: Kahlil only played in 25 games over the past three seasons, starting 14, because of a suspension (2006), torn right ACL (2007) and high ankle sprain (2008).
