Count them up. When the Philadelphia Eagles open their 2019 regular season, Darren Sproles will be appearing in the 178th regular season game of his career. That’s quite an accomplishment that no NFL fan should take lightly, whether you root for ‘The Birds’ or not.
3,486 rushing yards, 4,816 receiving yards, and 11,227 return yards are the result of a brilliant career that began way back in 2005. Call us crazy, but that looks like a resume quite a few guys would kill to own.
Keep in mind the fact that Sproles has shared the backfield with the likes of Ryan Mathews, DeMarco Murray, LeGarrette Blount and Jay Ajayi in Philly, and he split carries with Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory while with the New Orleans Saints.
