Kiwibrown Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Watching some Jimmy Graham highlights and that dude looked like a freak at the start of his career. He then dropped off after knee injuries and hung around made a pro bowl or two but isn't considered a hofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 These two dudes started off pretty special, and then amounted to almost nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leoric Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Shawne Merriman… Danario Alexander, Shane Olivea, Marcus McNeil, really a long list of guys that had momentum, got hurt and never came back the same. Never know when a game is your last one. David Boston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 Just now, Forge said: Zeke's first 4 years were the start of a real hof career Legit. His running style was always going to wear quickly. Also probably didn't ha e the off season commitment to make the HOF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Lots of RBs, I imagine. Ezekiel Elliott is who I thought of first, before googling stats. Averaged 1,756 YFS in his first four seasons (1350 rushing) and 12 TDs. Arian Foster in his first three years as a starter averaged 1,900 YFS (1,421 rushing) and 15.7 TDs. Thats kind of the thing, though. It’s not necessarily rare to see a young running back put up great numbers in their early years. What makes them HOFers is much more about being able to be a bit more consistent past age 26 and/or really blowing the competition out the water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know when a game is your last one. David Boston? I can remember when Dallas took a ton of heat by drafting DeMarcus Ware over Merriman. Ware and I have the same birthday so I always followed his career more closely than other players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Johnson had 10K YFS, 58 TDs by the time he was 28. An OPOY award too. Alvin Kamara has 10K YFS, 77 TD at the same point of his career (where he's at currently) CMC 10.5K YFS, 81 TD I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
