Most of us know that running backs don’t age well. Six years of premium productivity is usually the best you can expect.
The one guy we think of as an exception is Emmitt. Damn, the guy played 15 seasons!
Out of curiosity I wanted to work up some numbers. How did Emmitt do after his first six years in comparison to the earlier part of his career?
1990-1995...4.5 yards per carry...First 6 seasons
1996-2004...3.9 yards per carry...Next 9 seasons
Hmmm....
