He played 10 years and was 30 years old.

He was still good but I get kinda annoyed with people suggesting he walked away in his prime.

How many running backs hit their prime after their 10th season?

A 30 year old RB bellcow who had played over 150 games is hardly walking away from the game early.

Sure he could have gone on a season or two more but for what? He didn’t need to do anything else to secure his HoF legacy. He wasn’t going to win a ring playing a couple more years at the Lions.

I think you meant it’s on Prime, not in it.
