It’s interesting that only 32 running backs in NFL history have reached 10,000 yards rushing. Of course @ChicagoBears legend and @ProFootballHOF Walter Payton is on that list and so is former Bear RB, Pro Bowler, and Super Bowl XLI starter @thomasqjones Terrific conversation and insight on his life in the NFL and now Hollywood actor and producer!

Happy Birthday to Chris Canty! 🎂
@ChrisCanty99, a two-time second-team All-ACC defensive lineman, led all ACC D-linemen in tackles as a sophomore and junior.
Injuries dropped him to the fourth-round in the NFL draft, but he played 11 NFL seasons for the @dallascowboys, @giants, and @Ravens. He won Super Bowl XLVI with the Giants.
He is now an @espn analyst.
