He was old enough his rookie year that you had to wonder if he'd spent time on a Mormon mission in Papua New Guinea or some shit. Good luck with that, by the way, Devin. Let's see you pedal that Schwinn through the jungle mud when Septugon and Iriputiz are hot on your trail, spears in hand.

There have not been many more complete backs in NFL history. I can't think of anyone who was as good at so many things (running, catching, blocking, big plays, short yardage, route running, etc). And he was huge in the playoffs. He carried Matt Schaub teams to victory in two playoff games. Over 650 total yards and 6 TDs in 4 playoff games. And all against loaded boxes and good defenses (Bal, Cin, NE).
