The Oldies

Back in the day many great players played the sport of football but two star running backs are famous for being purely amazing. Thurman Thomas played since 1988 to 2000. Thurman Thomas is the running back for the Buffalo Bills until 2000 where he played one year for Miami. Thurman Thomas is a 5 time pro bowler, has 4 consecutive superbowl apperances, made it to the football hall of fame class 2007, and won NFL MVP in 1991. Over his years of playing he has over 12,000 yards for rushing that led him to 65 touchdowns. He has 4458 yards recieving which has ;ead him to 23 touchdowns. Might I remind you he's a running back he was not meant to catch but he's all purpose. Over his whole career he's only had 50 fumbles! allot to some but remember hes played for 22 years. His fancy footwork has lead him to a great overall career. Barry Sanders has played from 1989 to 1998. His whole life he played for the Detroit Lions. Barry Sanders won the Heisman as a junior, he has NFC and NFL rushing titles, set 13 NCAA reccords, and was selected to play in the prowbowl 10 times (not in 1993 due to injury). Though he only played for ten years he had 15,269 rushing yards. As for recieving he only had 2921. Rushing touchdowns he had 99 and recieving touchdowns he had 10. Ove his years he has only had 41 fumbles. All in all Barry Sanders is a flat out ridiculous running back. Now we compare todays running backs quickly sneaking up behind our old friends records. LaDainian Tomlinson has after 7 years of playing 11,336 rushing yards and 3669 recieving yards. he already has 120 rushing touchdowns and 15 reciving. He's quickly catching up to our old stars.
