Perusing the Free Agency list in my solo league, there were three absolutely stand-out RBs.

THe catch is, they are so good, yet have no historical indication of even starting for their previous teams. It makes me think they all got very good at the middle stages of their careers.

Cleveland Gary (93/93). 100 overall in 5 categories. 7 years pro. From 1989-1993, logged 69 total carries. Last season started and ran for 1,400 yards. Makes me think he severely boomed last year.

Steve Broussard (91/91). 100 in 4 categories. 6 year pro. His 5 year run has been very weird which leads me to believe he was never this good: from 1990 to '94, 0 att 0 yds, 23 att 114 yds, 249 att 1050 yds, 1 att 0 yds, 161 att 850 yds. Weird.

Timmy Smith (89/89). 100 in 3 categories. 9th year in the league. In 8 years he has started 7 games, his career mark being 506 yards. A back that has signed all one year deals after being released from his rookie contract. He just went from 510k/1 yr, to this FA stage getting 11mil/2 years.

What the hell is going on? Would screenshots help?
