Re: Random trivia
Not cheating... Jim Brown has to be one. Jim Taylor? I'll take a stab at two more... Leroy Kelly and Franco Harris.
Re: Random trivia
Brown, Payton, Dickerson, Sanders
Edit: I believe I have four of the first five but I missed one of the first four.

John Brockington?
"Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to fumble this football."
Re: Random trivia
Jim Brown and Franco Harris are two of the first four. The first four preceded guys like Payton/Dickerson/Sanders/Dorsett. Brockington is a good guess, but he didn't get to 5000 in his first 5 years. Leroy Kelly had two years where he backed up Jim Brown, so he didn't get to 5000 either. So there are two more remaining RBs to guess...
Re: Random trivia
Billy Sims did it but not sure if he was one of the first four.

Re: Random trivia
I looked at some of the early 1,000 yard rushers...
It's not Steve Van Buren, Joe Perry or John Henry Johnson...
Do AFL days count?
If so O.J. might be one...

Re: Random trivia
AFL days do count, and even though OJ took awhile to get going, his big 4th and 5th seasons made him one of the first four RBs with 5/5000.JuggernautJ wrote:I looked at some of the early 1,000 yard rushers...
