Terrell Davis Madden Career 1996-2002 - Peak 99 OVR

Blinded by a migraine at halftime of Super Bowl XXXII, Terrell Davis went back out and ran for 157 yards and three touchdowns as Denver beat Green Bay 31 to 24 and finally broke the AFC's Super Bowl drought. He was the MVP of that game and, a year later, the NFL's MVP after a 2,008-yard 1998 season that made him the fourth man ever to clear 2,000.

Denver found him in the sixth round, 196th overall, out of Georgia in 1995, and he became the best back of his era before the wear caught up. He made three straight Pro Bowls and three first-team All-Pros from 1996 to 1998, won a second ring in Super Bowl XXXIII, and piled up 1,140 rushing yards in the playoffs alone. A torn knee in 1999 gutted the back half of a career that ended at 7,607 yards and 60 scores. Canton called in 2017.

Madden caught only the edges of the greatness: a 54 in the 1996 edition before the breakout, then a 91 in the 2000 game once he was a household name, settling into the mid-80s as the knee problems mounted.
