Tiki Barber's NFL Legacy

Tiki Barber is one of the greatest running backs of his era, and he holds a special place in New York Giants lore. He is an All-Pro selection holder and a three-time Pro Bowler. The versatile RB is the Giants' all-time rushing and reception leader. Furthermore, he is one of only four ballers with 5,000 receiving yards and 5,000 rushing yards.

Barber holds several New York Giants franchise records, including but not limited to the following. Longest touchdown run, most rushing attempts in a season, most rushing yards in a single game, most total yards in a season, most 1,000 Yard seasons, and most career yards from scrimmage. He was so good that every new Giants' running back with some success is tagged the next Tiki Barber. That's not a distinction reserved for just anyone.
