Adrian Peterson:  915 carries/4,484 yards (4.9 YPC)/40 TD  ... 3x Pro Bowl, 1x 2nd Team All-Pro, 2x 1st Team All-Pro
Frank Gore: 699 carries/3,405 yards (4.9 YPC)/16 TD  ... 1x Pro Bowl, 1x 2nd Team All-Pro
Joe Mixon: 693 carries/2,931 yards (4.2 YPC)/17 TD  ... Nothing

Frank Gore will end up in the HoF most likely, but he isn't the same category as Adrian Peterson. Gore is merely a guy who is good for a long time, but not a guy who is great. He is a compiler HoFer.

Also a concerning/weird stat about Mixon: He has 0 rushing TDs of 20+ yards in his career. He just simply doesn't have the ability to finish a run for a TD. I don't know if it's a vision thing, or if he doesn't have that final gear, or what.

He's played 16 games in 1 out of 3 seasons and had 0 seasons of 300+ carries, or even 280+ carries. I don't know if I would categorize that as "super durable". He's not fragile, but not super durable.

Doesn't the 300 plus carry thing start to take a toll on the player rather quickly?
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
