Honestly, there is a constant change in the probowl/all pro HB's from year to year. It's likely the most replacable position on offense after FB.
How sad is it that Peterson only found two of both in 20 years?...

I understand this line of thought, and there is some truth to it. But I think we're getting to the point where RB is almost becoming an undervalued position in the league, if that makes sense.
Of the teams still in the playoffs, almost all have "a guy" and he's a stud. LT, AP, Westbrook, Williams, Turner, etc.
Part of it is the shelf life, so the turnover happens quickly, but LT's (the San Diego kind) don't fall off trees. He's kind of a bad example b/c he's getting long in the tooth, but you know what I mean.
I agree that TE is more difficult to find, however, simply b/c it is asking a lot to find a giant of a man 6'5'' 250+ that's athletic and can run. It's the same principle as trying to find a premier left tackle.
