Agreed. From a career stats standpoint, Emmitt is easily #1. He's running away with rushing TDs, and he's well ahead of sweetness in rushing yards. But part of that was simply playing forever and ever. He gets major credit for longevity, he's got to at least be a top 5. But he's no Barry Sanders or Jim Brown.
