Terrell Davis is one of the finest running backs to ever don a Denver Broncos uniform, yet his name is nowhere to be found in the Hall of Fame.
It’s a head-scratcher, for sure, but the franchise’s all-time leading rusher doesn’t regret anything.
“I don’t look back and say, ‘I wish I had played longer,'” Davis said while speaking with Eric Goodman and Les Shapiro on Afternoon Drive, “because I achieved so much.”
And he did. Davis won two Super Bowls, was named to three Pro Bowls, was named NFL Offensive Player of the Year twice and was named League MVP in 1998 — all in a span of just seven years.
Davis called it quits in 2001 after being bogged down by injuries throughout his career, and unfortunately, that has likely kept him away from Canton.
“They seem to hold that against me,” Davis said. “That’s the one. They say, ‘Well, he didn’t play long enough,’ and I just say, ‘Well, I wish I had played longer.’”
Still, he had it pretty darn good …
“If I didn’t have a Super Bowl or two,” Davis said, “If I didn’t win the rushing crown, MVP, all those things, yeah I think you say that. But I’ve accomplished those things in a short period of time. Now, I would have loved to have won four Super Bowls, but that just wasn’t’ the card that I was dealt, so I don’t think about that at all.”
That said, after all this time, after coming so close, it’s hard for TD not to admit that he wants that gold jacket.
