24. Warrick Dunn

Warrick Dunn is one of the best dual-threat running backs the game has ever seen. He had the size and power to run between the tackles, but he also had the quickness and speed to catch passes out of the backfield and make guys miss.

Dunn only rushed for more than 1,000 yards in five of his 12 seasons, but Dunn also surpassed 400 receiving yards in another four seasons.

Dunn’s ability to cause problems out for opposing defenses was one of the main reasons the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had so much success in the late ‘90s and early 2000s.
