If we look at two players who are HOF candidates for sure:
Adrian Peterson and LT
AP: 7 seasons (won't count his one game injury season last year), 5 1000+ yard seasons and 1 2000+ yard season. (1200 x 2, 1300 x 2, 1700 x 1) an average of 1445 yards a season. 85 rushing TDs and 5 receiving TDs. His one season with 970 yards only had 12 games because of an injury.
LT: 11 season, 8 1000+ yard seasons (1100 x 1, 1200 x 1, 1300 x 1, 1400 x 2, 1600 x 2, 1800 x 1) an average of 1244 a season. 145 rushing TDs, 17 receiving TDs
So now Gore: 10 seasons, 8 1000+ yard seasons (1100 x 4, 1200 x 2, 1600 x 1) average of 1107 yards a season. 64 rushing TDs and 11 receiving TDs.
His numbers hold up compared to some who have made the HOF in the last decade. I say he could, but it depends on when.
