Outside of Clinton Portis (who last gained 1,000 yards at age 27), the rest did it at 28 (3) or older....4 at 29 and 3 into their 30's. Not that has anything to do with Gurley. I just take it as a sign he may not be "done" for a number of years. Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.
