Tony Dorsett (Years In The NFL: 1977-1988)
Before Emmitt Smith, there was Tony Dorsett – the most feared rusher in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. Aside from winning a Super Bowl, he racked up over 16,000 total yards from scrimmage, which included 12,739 on the ground. Brilliant in the playoffs, Dorsett remains at fourth all-time in terms of playoff rushing yards. However, the Hall of Famer is also at the top of the list of running backs with the most fumbles lost.

Curtis Martin (Years In The NFL: 1995-2005)
The career of Curtis Martin earned him a spot in the Hall of Fame but that should not be a surprise. After all, he racked up over 17,000 all-purpose yards, which included 14,101 rushing yards. Before he played in New York, he was a big part of the Patriots back in 1996. The pre-Tom Brady team went to the Super Bowl, with Martin’s monster season definitely playing a part in it. He averaged 83.9 rushing yards per game throughout his career and had 90 rushing touchdowns. Martin is currently sixth on the career rushing list of the NFL, which puts the Jets star among true elites.
