Your favourite Blue Bomber running backs of all-time!

MIke Sellers not being on this list is a travesty.  Guy was the Bombers/CFL equivalent of Dustin Byfuglien - a total freak of nature who shouldn't have been able to do what he did.

He was also only here for 2 years and was a FB.

He was incredibly fun to watch, but never put together a season like any of the top RBs on this list.

There are 4 names on this list that I never heard of until today.

Hansen was the only one I didn't see play. Picking a favourite is difficult. The length of their career and impact on the team while here factors into the question. Age of the poster that didn't see many of these players in their prime.

I picked Leo Lewis as my favourite player from a football point of view. OTOH, Reaves was always a favourite from a supporter of his fans. He used to run into the end zone after a TD and hand the ball to one of the fans sitting in a wheelchair or in the stands.

That was a classy move I always appreciated from a human nature point of view. He had an interesting historical background as well.

I looked through my Annual CFL Guides & Record Books for 1000 yard seasons and All-Star selections to decide upon the names I would include.

The CFL Record Books contain a treasure trove of info for the more studious fan! Pick up a recent one.

Thunder and Lightning, although short-lived, was a very entertaining tandem to watch.

Sellers had 643 yards on 63 carries for a 10.2 YPC average in 2002
Sellers had 481 yards on 48 carries for 10.0 YPC average in 2003, which he parlayed into an 8 year career with the Redskins.

Keep in mind, this guy was doing ALL of this while splitting time with another 1000yd RB in Charles Roberts in Winnipeg.  I don't think anyone would complain today if Winnipeg had a 10+ YPC RB who *only* had 650 yards rushing.  If he had been here by himself, I could definitely have seen him putting up Andrew Harris/Jon Cornish numbers.....
