Today, with a 4 yard carry, PVHS grad and KC Chief RB Thomas Jones broke the 10,000 career rushing yardage mark. TJ joins a very exclusive group, with only 24 other players in NFL history breaking the 10,000 yardage mark.

Congrats, Go TJ!!!!!!

Its an incredible accomplishment and should pave the way, with two-three more successful seasons, to a Hall of Fame berth for Thomas Jones.

How awesome is that?

Probably still no respect.

The Bert Blyleven of the NFL. Thomas will probably end up top 15 in rushing yards and not be in the Hall of Fame.

if he ends up in the Top 15 and scores about 20-25 more TDs, he is HOF bound

I hope you are right, but I can't see him getting in unless he ends up top 10 all time.

I'm with pvfan on this one. IMO he is a HOF back, but it seems everywhere he goes, with 1-2 years in Chicago and 1 year in NY he hasn't even been the feature back. He's always sharing carries.

Whick IMO that makes his 10,000 yds even more impressive. But do voters see it that way?

he was the feature back the year CHI made the Super Bowl, he got more carries than Benson

but right now, Jones is 25th on career rushing list. if he can play three more seasons, he has held up well and not took the hardcore hits that some have, at his level right now, he will finish up around 13,400 rushing yards, which would be good for 5th-6th all time, ahead of all time greats like Eric ****erson and Earl Campbell.

At his current pace, he will rush for near 13,500 yards, which is HOF bound IMO
