The Philadelphia Eagles acquired Darren Sproles from the New Orleans Saints in 2014, expecting a few solid seasons, but he delivered six seasons of dominance. Sproles, a versatile player, retired four years ago but his impact on the Eagles remains memorable. Walter Payton holds the record for oldest NFL running back to achieve 100 yards rushing and receiving in a single game. Raheem Mostert had an outstanding season with the Miami Dolphins, leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns and setting a franchise record. Mostert now joins the Eagles, who were close to a championship in 2023.
Answer: #Packers HOFer Tony Canadeo held the record Payton broke, rushing for 100 yards in 5 games in *1949* at the age of 30. He topped 1,000 rushing yards that season (1,052). His numbers in those games: #Bears https://t.co/4hqhhwXSuU https://t.co/RmVQSpSZeG
You'll love this one. Who Am I? When Walter Payton racked up 6 100-yard rushing games in 1983 -- the most at the time by a 30-or-older RB in a single season -- he broke the #NFL mark of 5 set by . . .? #Bears (Note: Payton still holds the record after upping it to 9, then 10.)
He was on a San Francisco 49ers team that was an OT away from a ring. Now, he joins an #Eagles team that was a FG away from one in 2023. #FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/kmpjfFl5DR
Raheem Mostert had one of the best seasons for a Miami Dolphins running back ever. He lead the NFL in rushing touchdowns & set a franchise record for the Dolphins in rushing touchdowns. But just like every great player @RMos_8Ball is not satisfied ⬇️ https://t.co/ut6QAqZCTl
Answer: Walter Payton is the oldest #NFL RB to rack up 100 yards rushing & 100 receiving in the same game. As you can see, Payton also came close *twice* after turning 30. Priest Holmes & Tiki Barber also flirted with it. #Bears #Chiefs #Giants https://t.co/loeGSNN9U6 https://t.co/qreu29f8Jc
Who Am I? No #NFL RB has ever had 100 yards rushing & 100 receiving in a single game after his 30th birthday. I came closest (at 29 years, 154 days).
Darren Sproles was a swiss army knife for the #Eagles. He’s been retired for nearly four whole years now, but his tenure with the Birds shouldn’t be forgotten. Let’s revisit: #FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/POmdxPHmr1 https://t.co/POmdxPHmr1
When the #Eagles acquired 30-year-old RB doubled return man, Darren Sproles, from the New Orleans Saints back in March 2014, they were likely expecting a couple of solid seasons before he hung up the cleats. Instead, they got 6 seasons of dominance. https://t.co/qGNoZVPbv3
