An NFL Hall of Famer has added his voice to the call for fair pay for running backs. The 50-year-old ex-RB thinks that quarterbacks, who are very important in the NFL, can help make a difference by asking for running backs to be paid more. He even raised his voice against the odd situation in NFL for the RB position.

Broncos’ ex-RB Terrell Davis has two sons, Jackson and Myles, who both play football. Notably, Myles wants to be a great running back like his dad. However, Davis is already upset because he thinks that top NFL running backs are not being paid as much as they should be. He wants to help them get fair treatment and also revealed why RB was used to being paid well.

HOF-er Terell Davis advocates for change

Davis observed the induction of former Broncos’ linebacker DeMarcus Ware on Saturday & said, “It’s always a good reminder to go back and look around and just be among the greats. It’s something I value.’’

Terrell Davis says that right now, running backs have to fight for better pay on their own, often using social media to speak out. Davis wants them to have more support. When Davis played from 1995 to 2001, being a running back was good because “The more you played, that’s how you earned the bigger paycheck,’’ said Davis.

“Perfect Setup”: Amidst Running Backs Getting Shown the Door, Deandre Hopkins Receives an Undeniable Offer From Dalvin Cook & Pat McAfee Supports

But now, things have changed and even if running backs play well, they don’t always get paid more. This makes Davis upset because he thinks it’s not fair that running backs are seen as having short careers.

Some examples of this problem are Josh Jacobs from Las Vegas not playing until he gets more money, Tony Pollard from Dallas agreeing to play for one year even though he doesn’t want to, and Dalvin Cook having a hard time getting a good offer. The winds seem to be shifting, however, as players come together to tackle this issue.

According to CBS Sports, Chargers’ Austin Ekeler had a private meeting with some of the best running backs in the league, including Derrick Henry from the Titans, Christian McCaffrey from the 49ers, Nick Chubb from the Browns, Saquon Barkley from the Giants, Josh Jacobs from the Raiders, and Najee Harris from the Steelers.

They talked about how running backs are not being paid as much as they should be. In an interview with CBS Sports, Ekeler said that for now, running backs want to keep playing well and making a big impact.

Ekeler wants to keep scoring touchdowns and talking about the problem in a clear way. Chargers RB thinks that by doing this, they can show that running backs are important and should be paid more. Austin Ekeler hopes that this will help young players like Harris get better contracts in the future.
