Holmes, who entered the league in 1997 as an undrafted rookie from Texas, wound up playing ten seasons, including 2007. His career average of 4.6 yards per carry may be his most impressive stat, but Holmes' knack for scoring touchdowns gained him the most glory. He finishes 14th on the all-time TDs list.

Priest was a dominant performer from 2001-2004 and should garner a few Hall of Fame votes, though it's doubtful he'll ever make it in.

He re-injured his neck last week, which is what gave him problems a few years ago.

Good luck to him in his future.

Sucks but he needed to walk away.

It's amazing that just a few seasons ago he was one of the most dominant RBs in the game and was LT before LT. THe way he was scoring and putting up numbers it was just ridiculous. Just goes to show you that fame and fortune are fleeting.
