Through two-and-a-half seasons, Morris (3,714) is one of only 17 running backs NFL history to exceed 3,700 rushing yards in his first three seasons, joining Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Jamal Lewis, Chris Johnson, LaDainian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson, Clinton Portis, Terrell Davis, Ottis Anderson, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Eddie George, Edgerrin James, Walter Payton, Curtis Martin and Jim Brown, a list that features seven Pro Football Hall of Famers.
