The rankings are simply a categorized numerical breakdown of my opinion.
I wouldn't and don't expect universal or even small scale agreement.
I'm sure if you were to use the same format (and I would love to see it if you wanted to post it)
to rate the backs it would be different from mine.
But, that difference wouldn't compel me to state that your rankings 'don't make sense' or 'player doesn't deserve rating X' or 'player X should have ranking X'
But to answer your questions:
Sure the backs are similar in height and weight but they're not the
same.
Each person, I'm sure has their own view of ideal size for a RB.
And for me its a mix of their height/weight and their actual size in pads.
Helu is an inch shorter but only 3 pounds lighter then THT imo this makes him more compact and I think its apparent in how they look in pads.
Helu is 5-11/219
Hightower is 6'/222
Royster is 6'1/213

Hightower should be more powerful than Helu

Maybe Hightower
should be more powerful in your view.
But to my eye no RB on the team runs through contact better then Helu.
