This 1999 Heisman Trophy winner holds the record for rushing yards in the NCAA Division I FBS history. The New York Giants swooped in on him at the 11th pick at the 2000 NFL Draft. He and Tiki Barber teamed up in the backfield. The two became known as “Thunder and Lightning,” which is a nod to his strength and Barber’s speed. Sadly, his carries gradually diminished within the next few seasons.
