San Diego Chargers: Top 10 Running Backs of All-Time

Marion Butts, 1989-1993

With one of the funniest names on this list, Marion Butts was one of the best back in Bolts history (pun intended). He played for San Diego between 1989 and 1993 and was one of the biggest backs in Chargers history standing in at a hefty 248 pounds.

It was that size and power though that helped Butts to rank third in yardage (4,297), fifth in touchdowns (31), sixth in yards per game (56.5) and second in career touches (1,031) in franchise history.

Butts was the ultimate man among men and dominated the NFL especially in 1990 when he rushed for 1,225 yards and eight touchdowns on 4.6 yards per carry all in 14 games. It was his 87.5 rushing yards per game in 1990 that earned him the top spot in the league at the time for rushing yards per game.

A two-time pro-bowler, Butts was injured often during his career, but somehow found a way to rank top 10 in the league in touchdowns, yards per carry average and total yardage.

And even though his yards per carry average started to suffer towards the end of his Chargers career, his 4,297 yards and his outstanding 1990 season cement his place on this list.
