@smoove290 Injuries robbed Pruitt of his breakaway speed after 1978. While he would play for six more seasons (and make the Pro Bowl), he was never the same. Had those injuries not occurred, there is no doubt he would have followed his Cleveland predecessors - Marion Motley, Jim Brown, and Leroy Kelly, into the Hall of Fame. Watch as much film as you can of him from 1973-77. He was spellbinding!
It never ceases to amaze me of how Greg Pruitt is never mentioned amongst the greatest backs in the history of the NFL. Yet look at all of his over 65 yard dazzling touchdown runs. Please, give me a break. Do It Pruitt is one of the greatest backs bar none!!!
