Curtis Martin only missed 6 games in his first 9 seasons...strange as he had almost 1500 yards in two season and almost 1700 in another. He had over 350 carries in all 3 of those. His career average was only 4.0 ypc.
He essentially was run into the ground almost every year...durability was his HOF trait. That 1700 season was year 9 out of 10....which is pretty crazy.
I cant remember a single trademark run of his....
A lot of modern RB were better than him...shit, Holmes, Johnson and Charles were. Johnson's career ended by getting 400 carries...so Martin's ability to handle that kind of workload is impressive. His natural ability was just "very good" hence only 1 all-pro.
