    Guessing the cardinals and Ottis Anderson?

    Nope. Ottis Anderson is the Cardinals' leader, but he had 7,999 of his 10,000+ yards with them.

    I’ll guess Wilbert and the Eagles.

    Trying to think of great RBs for every team, and can't think of any for the Panthers. But I've never followed them so I'm sure there's someone.

    I'll say the Bucs. The only big-time runners I can think of who played there for any length of time are James Wilder and Mike Alstott.

    The Bucs are the other one. James Wilder is their franchise leader with 5,957 yards.

    The Bucs are also the only team whose all-time passing leader has less than 20,000 yards. Jameis Winston has their record with 19,737. Closest to that are the Bears, Texans, Browns and Rams, whose franchise leaders all have 23,000 and change.

    Jonathan Stewart had a pretty respectable 7,318 yards with the Panthers.

    Staying with the theme, there are three running backs who have rushed for more than 10,000 yards with one team but are not the career rushing leaders for those franchises. Who are they?
    This should be a fairly easy one.

    Good call, looks like that’s it. I’d somehow forgotten about Thomas.
