A different era for sure. I can make this short and simple.
I believe the current common career average for running backs in the NFL is around 3 years. That’s just the modern statistics.
Barry Sanders played 10 seasons.
It just makes me chuckle, because Barry gave us a whole decade… and it wasn’t good enough.
Yeah our ability to have generational talents like sims, sanders, and megatron and not be able to find a suitable supporting cast was so damn frustrating. And now we have the no name team that’s so complete is incredibly ironic.
Edit: I think Sewell can reach those heights but he’s not there yet. But if he maintains his arc it’s certainly possible.
