Did LaDainian Tomlinson have the best prime of any RB?

I think you could argue that from 2002 to 2007 might be the 6 year stretch of any RB in the league

Fair point

But Tomlinson is definitely the better receiver of the 2

2 years is a little short but it was pretty impressive while it lasted

Not looking up the stats but Marshall Faulk and Eric Dickerson were studs.

Earl Campbell’s first three seasons had to be seen to be believed.

Jim brown led the league in rushing 7 of 8 years

Barry has a peak that matches LT too. But LT was great

Back to back 2k yards from scrimmage 20 TDish. 416 carries in a season(26 per game), 750 in two. What a monster.

From 1973 to 1976 OJ Simpson rushed for almost 7,000 yards...and over 40 TDs.

He had TD runs of 94, 80 and 88 yards. His yards per carry in those 4 years averages out to 5.25 yards a carry...back when defenses were just stacking the line to stop him in the Dead Ball era.

OJ Simpson in his prime was sharp.

Yeah. He would seem all nice and everything but suddenly he's gone for the jugular and its all over.

Nice shoes though

I'm not a big Henry fan but that was a great run.
