The 39-year-old is a surefire Hall of Famer when his time comes. The superstar running back finished his incredible 16-year career with 16,000 rushing yards and 81 touchdowns.

He made his name with the 49ers where he spent ten years and twice he had four consecutive seasons of over 1,000 yards rushing. Known for his brutal running style, he was extremely hard to tackle and would often pick up the needed yards for a first down.

With his pro boxing debut now in the books, it looks like he will be excelling at another sport. While it is still early in his boxing career, the 39-year-old has gotten off to the best possible start.

As some fans have said, a fight with Jake Paul could be on the cards. Will it happen? There is no reason to think it won't.
