Some impressive numbers from the career of Terrell Davis:
7,607: The amount of rushing yards Terrell Davis had in his seven-year career. The number makes him the Broncos all-time leading rusher.
Only three retired running backs in NFL history have 60 or more rushing touchdowns, 4.5 yards per carry average and 90 or more rushing yards per game average. All three are in the Hall of Fame: Barry Sanders, Jim Brown and now Davis.
1998: Davis led the Broncos to their second straight Super Bowl title with one of the best seasons by a running back in NFL history. He had 2,008 rushing yards, 23 total touchdowns en route to earning the league MVP award.
4: Davis’ first four seasons may have been the best stretch of any running back in NFL history. He had 6,413 rushing yards, 56 rushing touchdowns, two championships, a Super Bowl MVP and a NFL MVP award.
142.5: T.D. earned his nickname because of his initials and ability to find the end zone, but he also made a big mark in the playoffs.
Davis had a NFL-best 142.5 yards per game rushing average to go with 12 rushing touchdowns in eight postseason contests. He also had a NFL record seven consecutive games rushing for more than 100 yards.
5: There’s no secret the Broncos have been underrepresented in the Hall of Fame. Despite three Super Bowls and plenty of record-breaking performances, Davis became just the fifth Bronco to be elected to the Hall of Fame.
“Steve Atwater, Karl Mecklenburg, John Lynch,” Davis said, mentioning some of players waiting for their turn. “I’m hoping this sort of opens up the gate.”
