*Terrell Owens deserves to be a HOF'er some day. But he was so detrimental to every team he played for, I'd make him wait at least a decade.

Edge had 4 years of 1500+ rushing yards, 7 years of over 1000 yards rushing (and one with 989 yds). To be honest, I don't know how that stacks up against other HOF'ers, but that's damn nice.

Joint 12th (with 9 other guys) in 1000+ yards rushing seasons (post merger) so nothing that special there but... joint 2nd in 1500+ and also joint 5th in 1300+ yards from scrimmage. Oh and 1st in seasons with 95+ average yards per game (2nd in 90+, 3rd in 100+).

Against my gut feel that's a pretty impressive resume.
