Forget MVP, Is Jamaal Charles a future Hall of Famer? - KC Star
Most running backs typically last only 10-12 seasons, due to the pounding they take.

That will give him 11,434 rushing yards and 3,874 receiving yards for a total of 15,308 yards from scrimmage for his career. Even if you gave him an additional 300 yards from scrimmage (to adjust for the fact he's not quite done with this season yet), that still puts him in a class with other modern backs like Edgerrin James (15,610), Tiki Barber (15,632), Warrick Dunn (15,306), Jerome Bettis (15,111) and Ricky Watters (14,891), none of whom are in the Hall of Fame.
