Many things go into the equation when determining the top 10 running backs in Dolphins history. While most fans would judge the position based solely on rushing stats, that only accounts for one facet of playing the position.
When putting together these rankings, I took into account a player’s ability as a runner, receiver and returner. Also considered was the player’s impact on the team’s success.
Players just missing the list: Mark Higgs and Delvin Williams
10. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
When beginning research on the top rushers in Dolphins history, Abdul-Jabbar’s name doesn’t immediately come to mind.
