re: Average RB tenure in the NFL

Well the average NFL tenure in general is b/w 3-4 years. I think that is skewed by all the players who just don't pan out and are cut and end up drifting around in semi-pro leagues.
While teams pass more, running back is still the most punishing position. Athletes are getting bigger, stronger, faster every year, including the running backs.--This means higher-impact collisions. It is offset by advancements in medical science. Gale Sayers and even Bo Jackson might've been able to come back from their injuries if Dr. James Andrews was doing then what he's able to do now.

Dr. James Andrews
There is a name that is thrown around for every athlete in America.
Back to the post, is it possible for a RB in todays game to have a productive 10-12 year career?
