Rushing TDs... not in top 25 either..

Currently has 63 TDs total. and 20th all time is at 77. Had he not missed a season he would be close.
The link you posted only has the top 20 not top 25.
CP Is tied for 2nd for most TD's as a rookie with 15.
In one game I remember them putting up a stat that showed he was also in the top 5 in rushing yards in his first 5 seasons, but NFL.com don't show these stats.
And he has 7,715 total yards. 20th on the list has 9,407.
There are only 4 active players on that top all-time list. meaning CP will be in the top 20 before he retires. Maybe top 10, who knows. He only needs 4,447 yards. Thats only 1111 yards a year for 4 more years.
Some might say he is injury prone. But I disagree, with that he completed this season not hurt. I wouldn't call a guy thats had one hurt season from injury out of 6 seasons. Maybe if he missed our last 3 games I would agree but he didn't get hurt.
So, I do think he is an elite back. Who will finish his career at least in the top 15 backs of all time.
