9 teams....what is the record for most teams played for? It has to be 9 no?
The only guy even close to him is probably Testaverde.
edit: Gore was the last of his kind.
There wont be any more 3 down workhorse, 10 year running backs ever again. I mean I guess Adrian Peterson was also kind of in that category, but not many RB's last 5 years nevermind 10. Back in the day it was somewhat common, Emmitt Smith, Walter Peyton, Erick Dickerson, Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas, etc. Whats crazy is the game was even more dangerous than it is today rules wise, but I guess the difference in overall quality of athlete makes it harder for ball carriers to take sustained hits.
I was high on Saquon Barkley and McCaffery but they both have suffered major injuries and will most likely not earn a 3rd contract. And then any of these new age runners, even someone like Zeke, has played what, 6 seasons now? I can see him playing this year and perhaps next, but no way he is still getting carries in 2025. I mean, I guess he could maybe reach year 10 as a backup type. Its going to be hard for anyone else to do it though its just not something that happens anymore.
