Ricky Williams gets high in a game against the Jets.
Two weeks ago, I asked, “Which active wide receiver leads the league in receiving yards?” That question was so difficult that I got it wrong. I have higher expectations this time around as we examine running backs.
LaDainian Tomlinson and Ricky Williams both topped the 10,000-yard rushing mark, and both retired this off-season. That leaves just one active player in the league with over 10,000 career rushing yards:
Thomas Jones has played for the Cardinals, Bucs, Bears, Jets, and Chiefs, amassing 10,591 rushing yards in his career. If he ends up retiring, Steven Jackson will become the active rushing leader. The full list, here.
