I wonder with the devaluation of RBs if we're going to start seeing high level athletes (as in, guys who are good enough to have a choice) refusing to play RB.
In the lead-up to the draft, when there was talk of Jahmyr Gibbs falling out of the first round, I started to think that maybe he'd be better off insisting on a move to WR. Because if mid-tier receivers are going have longer, better paid careers than upper-tier RBs, then what's the incentive to be a RB? If I was an elite young athlete I sure as hell wouldn't play RB if I could help it. Put me at WR or CB, or hell, even S or LB. Just don't stick me in the RB meat grinder.
