Shaun Alexander, with 28, i believe, just this season. He beat Priest Holmes record of 27 and Priest Holmes beat Emmitt Smith's record of 26.

Everyone though that Dan Marino's single season passing TD record would stand for decades until Peyton Manning took the title a couple years ago.  Records will fall at one point or another.  The career rushing record is no different.  \n\nEmmitt Smith ended his career with 18355 yards over 15 seasons (avg:  1223.7 yards/season)\n\nThat is an impressive total.  However, there are a few younger lions that could eclipse that mark within 15 seasons or sooner, depending on personal success and health.  The following players will show their current total, average, and projected estimated yardage after 15 years using their given average.\n\n1) Shaun Alexander:  6 seasons @ 7817 yards; 1302.82 yards / season; 19543 career yards\n2) LaDainian Tomlinson:  5 seasons @ 7316 yards; 1472.2 yards / season; 22083 career yards \n3) Curtis Martin:  11 seasons @ 14101 yards; 1281.9 yards / season; 19229 career yards \n4) Edgerrin James:  7 seasons @ 9226 yards; 1318 yards / season; 19770 career yards\n5) Clinton Portis:  4 seasons @ 5930 yards; 1482.5 yards / season; 22238 career yards\n\nJust using averages, Emmitt Smith's rushing record will not stand for long against runners like these guys.  There are also other notables who could sneak up and have huge seasons to give themselves a shot at the title like Larry Johnson, Rudi Johnson, Ronnie Brown, Carnell Williams, Domanick Davis, and so on.  \n\nIt will fall, and it will fall far down the rankings the longer football is played.

LT!\nfor your second question its alexander for best stats.\nNot this year, without brees they will rely or LT
606955
My number one pick would be LT. People have been talking about him breaking Alexander's record of TD's in a season, and he will get plenty of carries. Best QB = Peyton Manning. Best WR = Chad Johnson or Marvin Harrison.

Im not sure but since im a big fan of WVU I know their QB Pat  White has a lot of records and hes only a sophmore..but its QB rushing records not passing.  He was the only QB there to pass and run for over 100 yards...most rushing tds for a QB in a season...most rushing yards for a QB in a season..and theres more...those are all school records not NCAA records.

If you mean all time, I would have to say Barry Sanders.  In 1988, his junior year at Oklahoma State, he had 3250 total yardage with 2850 coming on the ground.  He had an astounding 44 TD's that season and won the Heisman before coming out of school to play for the Detroit Lions.\n\nWhile he only had 1 season as a starter, he was a backup to Buffalo Bills great Thurman Thomas his 1st two years at Okie St.\n\nIf you ever get a chance to watch his games on ESPN Classic, do it because he is clearly the best player on the field that entire season.

LaDainian Tomlinson. He's small and quick. The only thing he needs is a better O-line. Then he could easily become the NFL's leading rusher.

By your question being who is the most dedicated not who had the most success, I would first have to add as the qb most dedicated in the past and it would be Jim Plunkett of Oakland. He was like a Joey Harrington type of guy who was drafted high but never had the success he knew he could achieve. Cut by the 49ers after years of trying to make him prove himself. He then was hired by Al Davis and the Raiders, he Went on to be a SB MVP, and won 2 SB's for Oakland. He was a good example of "why you should never quit". He never gave up on his talent, and goals eventhough the NFL (not including the Raiders) did. \n\nIn todays NFL I'll have to choose as the most dedicated not most talented. I choose QB Steve McNair, he Gets injured almost in every game and still shows up when sunday comes. He doesnt let injuries catch up to him, as far as, Not quitting on his team and even though he hasn't put alot of big time numbers, he is another example of not quitting and being dedicated to the sport.

Walter Payton - hands down.  \n\nNo one has ever had as much talent as he did.   He scored touchdowns running, receiving, passing and kicking.  He did kick a field goal and an extra point in an early game were Bob Thomas got injured.

Barry Sanders, NFL, Detroit Lions, 1989-1999,\nMy question would be "Why did you retire at the age of 33 when you were only just over 1000 yards shy of the all-time NFL rushing record?"

Gotta go with Brian Westbrook.  tennesee is the 2nd worse rush defense in the entire nfl.  also with how mcnabb is throwin lately tennesee will be worried with that and wont be expecten the run or the short passes

Red Grange and the Bears was the best white all-time running back in NFL history maybe in the top ten running backs of all time.
959673
Now - Jim Brown.\nFuture - Ladanian Tomlinson (tonight he broke three TD records previously held by Brown, and he's on pace to break every career rushing record that matters.)

Dan Marino with out a doubt. He is always mentioned with the top QBs. Name ONE other QB without a ring who is always listed in the top 5 at least.
