Former NFL RB Corey Dillon says he deserves to be in Hall of Fame: 'Because I earned it'

Corey Dillon enjoyed a very productive 10-year NFL career before he retired in 2007.

He rushed for more than 11,000 yards — including six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons — and scored 89 total touchdowns. Dillion also made four Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2004.

Dillon's stats rank among the best in the NFL all-time, and he is among 14 running backs with at least 10,000 career rushing yards who averaged more than 4.3 yards per attempt. He broke Jim Brown's rookie rushing record in a game in 1997 and Walter Payton's single-game rushing yards record in 2000.
