Football Outsiders is celebrating the last 30 years of the NFL at ESPN by looking at the best overall seasons, per their exclusive metrics, for each position, such as quarterback, running back, et al. When it comes to running backs, no team has the sort of storied history as the Kansas City Chiefs.
Chiefs fans will already smile and nod at memories of rushers like Priest Holmes, Christian Okoye, Jamaal Charles, Marcus Allen, Larry Johnson, Abner Haynes and others. Football Outsiders’ metrics agree with those memories, giving the Chiefs three of the top 10 rushing seasons of the last 30 years.
