RE: Players who just faded away...
Fading away? I'm surprised no one mentioned Jerry Rice. Household name, but he held on for WAY too long.
Another that comes to mind for me since I'm a Cowboys fan is Alvin Harper. Great success with the offense of the Cowboys, but he left for Tampa Bay and more money after the 93 season IIRC, and was never heard from again shortly thereafter.

They used up Larry Johnson lol. That guy was a beast...you couldn't stop him! 300+ carries for how many years? Wasn't it like 3 or 4 in a row? I forgot about Dante Hall too...that guy was an awesome kick returner!

Laurence Maroney comes to mind. Desmond Bishop? Packer for a few years, haven't heard about him since he left.

RE: Players who just faded away...
Great thread... I will throw a blanket out there and say 99.5% of modern RB's just drop off the map so it's easier to name those who didn't or haven't : Emmitt, Barry and I'm really struggling to think of another actually... hmmm.
Jake Plummer, definitely NOT on this list... with nearly 30K passing yards and 161 TD's it's only the "snake" legend that could get him categorized as a bust or a guy who "fell off."
Someone asked about Jerry Porter... injuries killed his career and you can add Sylvester Morris to that list as well. Morris was regarded as the poor man's Randy Moss until a catastrophic knee injury killed his career. LMK if anyone needs some high end Morris RCs... LOL, I have them all.

RE: Players who just faded away...
How is Emmitt on this lis?
He was chasing a record BUT he was like Jerry towards the end, he waited too long after he had the record.
Barry? Nah, he finished on top & definitely didn't fade away.
IMO of course.
