Eric Dickerson is the record holder for the most rushing yards in a season, yet his 2,000-yard season is only fourth on this list. Why?

Well, despite rushing for 2,105 yards, he only had 14 touchdowns, middle of the pack for players on this list. He also only had 139 receiving yards and failed to score through the air.

Still he is the single-season rushing record holder and that must be given some weight, but considering how close everyone on this list is as far as rush yardage, it there is only a 102-yard difference between the highest and lowest totals, that really doesn't make him the runaway leader.

On the bright side, he was very important to his team. Of all the players on this list so far, his team may have been the worst. His quarterback, Jeff Kemp, only threw 13 touchdowns, and no receiver gained 1,000 yards. The defense was pretty good, but not one player from that unit made the Pro Bowl the year Dickerson rushed for 2,000.
