montster Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 during the san diego-denver game, they showed a stat in regard to LT, showing the number of 1,000 yard rushers by their ages. at age 34, only one RB has ever run for 1,000 yards, and at age 35, only two have done it. they didn't say who they were. any guesses? i found one: john riggins had 1,000-plus yards at age 34 and age 35. not sure who the other one is.

darin3 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) My first thought was Marcus Allen, but nope. E2A: If you combine rushing + receiving, Allen works. Edited December 29, 2008 by darin3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E2A: If you combine rushing + receiving, Allen works. same here. then i thought emmitt smith, but he got around 925 when he was 35. it has to be an old-school guy.
