Larry Johnson TYFYS.

Now that I think about it, the Chiefs have had a string of stud fantasy backs over the last 16 years or so between Priest, LJ, Charles, and now Kareem.

And Jamal Lewis is one of the GOAT 2000s backs. Believe Travis Henry named one of his kids after him.

Anyone else remember TJ Duckett and Michael the Burner Turner? I know Tiki Barber had to be mad as hell retiring the year before the Giants won that first Super Bowl over the Patriots. Someone mentioned Eddie George but completely forget his successor Chris Brown. Panthers had a decently two back punch with Stephen Davis and DeShaun Foster, nowhere near as good as Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart were.

Speaking of Jonathan, how about my man James Stewart, shared a backfield with Fred Taylor. And did everyone forget about Ricky Williams and his successor Ronnie Brown? Or the last great Packers and Huskers back Ahman Green? And no one has said Deuce with all these Saints fans here? Thomas Jones had a couple of good seasons too. And who can forget Michael Pittman and his Hulk Hogan arms?

All good. Eddie George scored both Tennessee TDs in that Super Bowl.

Is that because he liked Jamal Lewis or because he was running out of names?

He put about 250 against LSU. That game made me pretty sick.

Shaun Alexander also made Mike DuBose somewhat competent in 1999

I remember a lot of people giving him shite for sitting out in 07


He got paid and was never the same RB again. Bag secured.
