Jamal Lewis didn't disappoint during his seven seasons in Baltimore. Though he was forced to miss the entire 2001 season with an injury, He was still able to amass enough yards to currently remain the Ravens' all-time leading rusher and his 45 rushing TDs are also the most in franchise history. He ran for a record-setting 2,066 yards in 2003 en route to being named the AP Offensive Player of the Year. Lewis was named to the NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2000s. The Ravens also had some amazing backs like Ray Rice who had a very short run in the league, so he would’ve played longer if he didn’t have his off the field issues. Willis McGahee was also an offensive force as a great back, so injuries kept him from being able to play longer.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

7:02. I am kinda shocked that the record for most carries is 492. I remember LaGarret Blount getting 300 and 290 some carries in 2 seasons and it being truly being an accomplishment, which it is. Yet I never knew the record for carries was almost 500! Yes the NFL was a more run first league then. Also fewer game's.

Pierre Thomas played on the same teams as Bush and was better than him. I think he deserved a mention. Never a huge stats guy but a key part of the Saints winning a championship and building the early culture and offensive style under Payton and Brees. Still the best RB on screens I've ever seen.
