Auburn running backs coach Cadillac Williams may be the best in college football.

Some forget he's also one of the best running backs to come through the sport.

Big Game Boomer - a content creator that thrives on wild, outlandish (and occasionally intentionally stupid) takes for engagement, decided to take to Twitter and post his "Top 100 Greatest Running Backs Of The 21st Century."

Auburn's Carnell "Cadillac" Williams was tabbed the No. 13 running back of the last 23 years. Tiger standouts Ronnie Brown (No. 43), Kerryon Johnson (No. 68), and Tre Mason (No. 89) also made the list. Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Texas are the only other two schools to have four players on the list.

BGB's top 15 includes:

1. Reggis Bush - USC

2. Darren McFadden - Arkansas

3. Adrian Peterson - Oklahoma

4. Darren Sproles - Kansas State

5. Christian McCaffery - Stanford

6. Derrick Henry - Alabama

7. Kenneth Walker III - Michigan State

8. DeAngelo Williams - Memphis

9. Cedric Benson - Texas
