Taking a look at that, I would put Dillon firmly in the "not likely" category. Same with Eddie George. Both are low on the list, relatively speaking. I think both of those guys, Jackson included, are in the Hall of Very Good. Dillon just doesn't have the accolades. Four Pro Bowls and a ring. No All-Pros, no OPOY, no ROY. I could be wrong, but I would bet on no.

The fact they have Derrick Henry at a score of 41 is astounding. The dude is a walking HOFr.

NFL Offensive Player of the Year (2020)
First-team All-Pro (2020)
2× Second-team All-Pro (2019)[a]
4× Pro Bowl (2019, 2020, 2022, 2023)
2× NFL rushing yards leader (2019, 2020)
2× NFL rushing touchdowns leader (2019, 2020)

The fact he was minimally used his first two years hurt, as well as being on an average to below average team, until now. Derrick Henry, and Adrian Peterson, the most dominant running back this side of 2000. You have others like, LT, Edge and CMC as dual threat running backs. But as far as pure running backs, those two are head and shoulders above all others.
