When you think about the most elusive runners in the NFL today, you probably envision shifty backs with the ability to break defenders ankles left and right. This isn't exactly the case with the Falcons main RBs in recent years, but the combo of Michael Turner and Jason Snelling has been an incredibly tough pair to bring down.

Pro Football Focus, a site I seem to frequently reference, has put together a three-year composition of elusive ratings for running backs. This basically shows which guys have been a nightmare for defenses to stop, and some of the names on the list are sure to surprise you.

Ridiculous, right? Even better that it's against the Saints. Say what you will about Turner and Snelling, but there's a reason Atlanta wanted to keep them both around.
