Tennessee Titans: Eddie George
Steve McNair was an MVP for the Tennessee Titans at one point. However, his run of success didn’t last as long as it did for Eddie George. The former running back was a remarkable testament to true toughness. Despite workloads of over 330 carries every single year, the guy did not miss one game until the final season of his career. That’s a run of eight-straight seasons. Unheard of for running backs. The guy was a physical specimen who could always be counted on to produce.
From 1996 to 2003 he amassed at least 1,100 total yards from scrimmage each year. He had 12,668 total, scored 78 touchdowns and went to four Pro Bowls. He also averaged 112.3 yards per game in the Titans’ miracle Super Bowl run of 1999 and scored the tying touchdown in the 4th quarter of that epic game. If not for a defensive breakdown, he might have a ring on his finger today. Still, he’s done more than any current Titans alum to earn that coveted bust.
