Thurman Thomas (Years In The NFL: 1988-2000)
In the ‘90s, Thurman Thomas was one of the main reasons why the Buffalo Bills made it to the Super Bowl for four consecutive times. A dual-threat offensive player, he had an outstanding career and went on to become a Hall of Famer. Although his yards-per-game average and touchdown numbers are middling compared to others on this list, Thomas managed to distinguish himself through an offense loaded with talent. A former NFL MVP, he was also selected to five Pro Bowls and earned an All-Pro selection twice. He racked up almost 17,000 total yards from scrimmage and remains the third all-time in terms of career playoff rushing yards.

John Riggins (Years In The NFL: 1971-1985)
John Riggins was a touchdown machine that especially turned it on during the big games. He finished his career with 11,352 rushing yards and 104 rushing touchdowns. In 1983, he won a Super Bowl with the Washington Football Team and was named the game’s MVP. The most stunning number in his Hall-of-Fame career is probably that he only earned one Pro Bowl selection, which puts him among the underappreciated star backs in NFL history.
