Another player lost to history is RB Gregory Shea of the Memphis Showboats.

He only played 8 seasons but finished 8th Alltime in rushing with 8,674 yards while adding 3,249 yards recieving.

Where he truly excelled was as a kick off returner where he finished 4th Alltime in return yards with 5,866 yards and holds the record with 17 kickoff returns for TDs.

To put that in perspective, in 8 seasons, he averaged over 2 return TDs per season. He had 163 kick off returns in his career which means he scored a TD on 10.4% of his returns.

His best season was 6 TDs (record) in 1977 on 25 returns which works out to 24% of the time he returned it for a touchdown.

He is ranked 2nd Alltime in total yards with 18,517 yards and is 37th Alltime in total TDs.

Despite being 8th Alltime in rushing and arguably the best kickoff returner in the history of the league while being 2nd Alltime in total yards....he isnt in the Hall of Fame.

Actually Ric Flair played some RB while he awaited his shot to start at QB.

The thing I remember most about Labelle is that he's stupid. I didn't care about intelligence back then so the fact his was at 15 didn't bother me.

He might have been stupid but he is 5th alltime in playoff wins with 1 title.

I didn't realize that about Flair...I wondered why he sat so long

I already had Labelle and Fluty when I drafted Flair as the heir apparent. Flair used to be fast, and Rudi Johnson seemed to be knicked up often, so I used Flair as a RB 3 for a few seasons.
