Its hard for RBs to get into the HoF anymore. For a long time the HoF was overloaded with RBs and QBs and not so many players at other positions.
That theoretical 12K threshold also might go up with the change to a 17 game schedule.
Several RBs that arent in for comparison that were near the top of there tier when they retired...
- Fred Taylor
- Steven Jackson
- Ricky Watters
- Eddie George
- Ottis Anderson
- Shaun Alexander
- Roger Craig
