He would make the 4th or 5th, right?

Makes a guy wonder.


Don't worry, Fred Dean is in there from that group.

Quote from: Cossacks on Feb 02, 2026, 01:15 PMFirst take is... retarded. When he retired, he was number one for a running back in receptions (566) and number one for a running back in receiving yards (4911). He was 13th on the all-time rushing list (8889) when he retired in '93. So to say he was, "mediocre" when he pretty much was the top all purpose /dual threat back in his era makes no sense whatsoever.

Second take... actually do agree with you. I think that has some bearing in his exclusion.

He completely changed the way RB's were used in offense which opened the door for those who followed him.... He is a Hall of Famer....

I was at the 1990 NFC championship game for the fumble and it sucked.... 🤣

Wonder what Warrick Dunn could have done with the San Francisco 49ers and that West Coast offense instead of the crap he played for. 🤠🏈🤠

"Warrick Dunn is one of only a select few NFL running backs to reach 10,000 rushing yards and 4,000 receiving yards in their career. Based on historical data, about 5-6 players have achieved this specific milestone, including Dunn, Marshall Faulk, Tiki Barber, Marcus Allen, Ricky Watters, and occasionally LaDainian Tomlinson depending on the exact yardage cutoff.

"Warrick Dunn: Finished his career with 10,967 rushing yards and 4,339 receiving yards.

Other members of the 10K/4K club: Marshall Faulk, Tiki Barber, Marcus Allen, and Ricky Watters also achieved this dual milestone.

Dunn was recognized as the 7th player to hit these combined milestones in some reports (often including slightly different receiving thresholds).

He is considered one of the most productive dual-threat, yet underrated, running backs in NFL history."

Warrick Dunn never did anything Historical or to set him self apart, he is Just Another Guy.... Nobody cares about Warrick Dunn....

Roger Craig was a historic player in the NFL.... 1st one with 1k Rec and 1k rushing in a year that has only been done 3 times.... He was top 3 in MVP finishes twice.... Roger Craig was also an Offensive player of the year in 1988 and was in the all decade team of the 1980's.... The only RB from that all decade team that is not in the hall....

Not sure if Warrick Dunn ever got 1 MVP vote.... I will let you look that up though.... 🤣

Warrick Dunn is the only player in NFL history to record at least 7,500 yards from scrimmage with two different franchises.

Throughout his 12-season career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons, he achieved over 10,000 rushing yards and 4,000 receiving yards, totaling nearly 11,000 rushing yards and over 15,000 all-purpose yards.

Quote from: TheOC89 on Feb 01, 2026, 08:05 AMYou're an idiot as usual.... Craig was an Offensive Player of the year, was on the All Decade team of the 1980's and key player on a 3 time superbowl champion team.... Not to mention, the first player ever to have 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in a season which has only been done 3 times in the history of the NFL...

Warrick Dunn was a Bust and no one even remembers who the other guy you mentioned is.... 🤣

Ha I was about to ask who the guys were besides Dunn. And Dunn HOF?  Come on man. Not even close.

I didn't realize Craig wasn't in the HOF. I hate the niners, but even I can admit that dude belongs. No doubt.

What about Brian Mitchell? Number 2 in history with 23,330 AP yards.

I know almost all of them are return yards, but why isn't return yards counted as something significant? If a guy returns the ball to the 50 or the opponents 45 every return, how isn't that impacting the game?

Hell a guy can sack the QB and the next play they throw a TD or get a 1st down and that sack was useless and had no effect on the drive or game.

Pretty good point!.... I don't know what his overall stats and accolades are but if he is close to Hester you would think he has a real good case....

The HOF hasn't been kind to specialists at all. Only 1 return specialist (Hester) 3 kickers and only 1 punter (Ray Guy who isn't even top 20 in any relevant metric for punters).
