James played 11 seasons in the NFL and rushed for more than 12,000 yards and had over 3,300 receiving yards.
He played seven seasons for the Indianapolis Colts, surpassing 1,200 yards fives times, 1,500 three times and leading the NFL in rushing twice.
He played three seasons for the Cardinals, rushing for more than 1,100 yards in two seasons. In the third season, he was part of the Cardinals’ Super Bowl team and led the team in rushing in the postseason.
His single-season rushing totals for the 2006 and 2007 seasons rank eighth and sixth in team history.
He was not with the Cardinals long and was not the player he was when he played for the Colts but he did make an impact and was a critical part to the Cardinals’ Super Bowl run.
Congrats to Edge!
