Hall of Famers by career yardage
Top ten all-time - 9 eligible, 9 in the Hall (Tomlinson isn't eligible yet.)
Rank 11-20 - 7 eligible, 5 in the Hall (Marcus Allen, Franco Harris, Thurman Thomas (gah - what a miscarriage), John Riggins, O.J. Simpson)
Ranks 21-30 - 7 eligible, 0 in the Hall
Ranks 31-40 - 7 eligible, 3 in the Hall (Joe Perry, Earl Campbell, Jim Taylor)
Ranks 41-50 - 9 eligible, 1 in the Hall (Csonka)
Ranks 51-60 - 8 eligible, 1 in the Hall (Leroy Kelly - think he made it as an old-timer)
It looks like you need to be top 20 to have a fighting chance, which is a little more than 11,000 yards. You need to be top 10 to have a strong chance, which is a little more than 12,000 yards.
So Jamaal needs four more seasons to hit 11,000 and five seasons to hit 12,000. Is he going to do it?
