Continuing right along with our Talker Series, we bring you the list of running backs in NFL history who have eclipsed 10,000 yards. There are 24 of them in all, and the list ranges from the best of the best to guys you might be surprised to see. As with the 3,000 hit club -- which generated a fun discussion from what we could tell -- please be prepared to back up your argument.
And again, obviously these are not bad players ... they accomplished a great deal in the best league in their sport. But our mission is to identify which one (or few of them) makes for the weakest link(s).
As such, here are the 24 NFL RBs who have topped 10,000 yards in their careers to date:
The names that surprised us the most? Ricky Watters, Ottis Anderson and Corey Dillon. Doesn't mean they're the "worst of the best," but it was at least stunning to see Dillon ahead of O.J. Simpson, looking over his shoulder. That is and yet isn't where you want to be, you know?
