Man as you guys know I follow AD and his yardage total closely. He’s only 1053 behind Sanders total(which I want him to pass so pokes won’t have that to claim).
The last two years he has rushed for over 1000 yards in 2018 and 900 in 2019. He’s obviously slowly tailing off, but with him planning to play four more years I would guess his average over that time to be 650-700 yards a season. If he indeed does that he would finish with around 17,000 yards which would put him at 2nd all time. He would be around 1250 yards away from Smith. Knowing AD if he could walk I could see him playing until he passes Smith if he’s that close haha.
If he does stop at 2nd I would be so proud of that guy. He easily would have passed Emmitt if not for the year lost to injury and getting into trouble the other year and being suspended. That’s two years he would at minimum of added 2200-2400 more yards.
The other thing is with the direction the NFL is going with running back by committee, I don’t think anyone will ever make it past 16,000 yards again or at least not in the next 30 years. So if he reaches 1st I could see that record being almost unbeatable.
Love AD and hope he plays until he can’t play no more. I’m truly going to miss the day I can’t check the box score to see how many more yards he added to his total.
