Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans (1996-2003), Dallas Cowboys (2004)
HOF-eligible for a decade-plus, George was named a semifinalist back in November for the first time. More than deserving of a gold jacket, George holds many Titans/Oilers franchise records, including for career rushing yards (10,441). He rushed for more than 1,200 yards in each of his first five seasons — joining Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and LaDainian Tomlinson as the only other two players to do so in NFL history. George had the individual production, including seven seasons with 300-plus carries and 1,000-plus rush yards, but he also helped the Tennessee Titans reach the franchise’s first Super Bowl in the modern era. The Titans came within 1 yard(!) of winning the Lombardi Trophy, and if they had beaten the Rams in that game, I’m confident George would’ve been named game MVP after having 28 carries for 95 rush yards and two rush TDs. The four-time Pro Bowler even finished third in the MVP vote for his 2000 campaign, when he rushed for 1,509 yards and 14 scores. The physical, bruising back was consistently great and a player defenses had to plan for throughout his career.
