PRO: In eight seasons, George has been a workhorse at running back, becoming the only running back in league history to record more than 300 carries in each of his first eight seasons. The former Buckeye has started every game of his career, a streak of 128 consecutive games, which is the most ever by a back in league history to start a career. Entering the 2004 season, George ranks first for consecutive starts among active running backs and second all-time behind NFL Hall of Famer Walter Payton (170). George's fine-tuned skills have resulted into a punishing-hard runner whose size and brute strength have helped him become one of the toughest players to tackle in the open field.

Possessing an outstanding work ethic, his grueling off the field work-outs have enabled him to become one of the most conditioned players in the game. As he begins his ninth NFL season, George leaves the Titans as the club leader in career rushing yards (10,009), seasons with 1,000 or more yards (7), consecutive seasons with 1,000 or more yards (5), seasons leading the team in rushing (8), consecutive seasons lead-ing the team in rushing (8), rushing attempts (2,733), rushing attempts in a season (403), total yards among running backs (12,153) and recep-tions among running backs (259). His 216 rushing yards against Oakland (8/31/97) tied Billy Cannon (@ NY Titans, 12/10/61) for first on the all-time list for most rushing yards in a game. He ranks second behind Curtis Martin (10,182) with 10,009 yards for most rushing yards since 1996. In terms of all-purpose yards since 1998, he ranks fourth (9,160) among NFL running backs, behind only Marshall Faulk (11,590), Curtis Martin (9,946) and Priest Holmes (9,253). George ranks first on the Titans' all-time list in seven different categories in postseason play: most rushing attempts (206), most attempts in a game (29 vs. Buffalo 1/8/00), most yards gained (776), most yards gained in a game (162 at Indianapolis, 1/16/00), longest run from scrimmage (68 yard touchdown at Indianapolis, 1/16/00), highest average yards gained in a game (6.23 at Indianapolis 1/16/00) and most consecutive games with a rushing touchdown (3, 1999-2002). He is tied with Steve McNair for most touchdowns in a postseason game on the all-time list (2). Last season, he passed former Oilers' great and current Hall of Famer Earl Campbell on the team's all-time list for total touchdowns scored (74 to 73). The two rank tied for most consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl with four (George 1997-2000; Campbell 1978-81) in franchise history. His 1,368 yards during his rookie season still ranks second in franchise annals behind Campbell (1,450) and ninth-best total among rookie rushers in NFL history. Many NFL experts feel that George's name will be men-tioned along with other great running backs in Canton, Ohio, shortly after his career is over. He joined current Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown as the only backs in NFL history to rush for more than 10,000- yards without missing a start in their career when he surpassed the mark in the 2003 season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He joined current Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson as the only two running backs who rushed for more than 1,200 yards in each of their first five seasons. The four-time Pro Bowler is one of six running backs in league history who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first five seasons joining Dickerson, Tony Dorsett, Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin and Corey Dillon. Dorsett is a member of the Hall of Fame and Sanders, who rushed for 15,269 yards in his career, was inducted into the Class of 2004. George joined Dickerson, Smith, Campbell and Walter Payton as the only backs in NFL history to total more than 6,800 yards rushing in their first five seasons. Payton was elected to the Hall in 1993 after rushing for 16,726 yards during his career. Smith begins his 15th season in the NFL and ranks first on the NFL's all-time rushing list with 17,418 yards, all but guaranteeing him a place in Canton as well.

George also has shown that he is adept at catching passes out of the backfield. He has 253 receptions, which ranks first among fran-chise running backs and ninth on the all-time list. He became one of only five running backs in franchise history to record 50 or more receptions in a season when he caught a career-high 50 recep-tions in 2000.

Tennessee is 30-6 when he runs for 100-plus yards (2-0 in the playoffs), 16-0 when he has 30-plus carries and 20-0 when he records 29-plus carries. The eight-year pro has recorded 16 of his 100-yard performances in games imme-diately following franchise losses. He became the fourth Heisman Trophy winner to be drafted by the fran-chise, joining running backs Cannon, Campbell and Mike Rozier. George is one of nine Heisman Trophy winners to play in the Super Bowl along with Cannon, Roger Staubach, Mike Garrett, Jim Plunkett, Dorsett, Marcus Allen, Desmond Howard and Ron Dayne. As one of five players in team history to earn Rookie-of-the-Year honors (LB George Webster in '67, LB Robert Brazile in '75, Campbell in '78, DE Jesse Baker in '79), George also is one of only five running backs in NFL his-tory to win the Heisman Trophy and then rush for at least 1,300 yards in his rookie campaign. He was selected with the 14th pick in the 1996 NFL draft after the Oilers moved up from the 16th pick in a trade (Glenn Montgomery) with the Seattle Seahawks.
