19. Edgerrin James

Edgerrin James often gets overlooked because he played in the shadow of the best quarterback of all-time, Peyton Manning, in Indianapolis.

James ranks 11th in total rushing yards with 12,246. While most of his success came with the Colts, James also had 1,000-plus rushing yard seasons with the Arizona Cardinals in 2006 and 2007.

James is a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer when he is eligible in 2016.
