#39 FB Larry Csonka - Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins (1968–1974) & 1979
Memphis Southmen (WFL) (1975)
New York Giants (1976–1978)​

A fullback of tremendous size for his time (reportedly 6'3" and 237 lbs.), Larry Csonka is the best NFL athlete to ever wear the uniform number 39.

Csonka was drafted with the eighth overall draft pick, out of Syracuse, in the 1968 draft. During Csonka's rookie season with the Miami Dolphins he suffered two concussions, a broken nose and a cracked eardrum. It was a rough start to a career that would eventually become legendary.

Larry was a bruising fullback, leading the Dolphins feared rushing attack in the early 1970s.

During the 1972 regular season, Csonka teamed with Mercury Morris to gain 2,117 rushing yards (1,117 by Csonka and 1,000 by Morris), en route to the the first (and currently only) perfect NFL season (17-0). Csonka rushed for over 1,000 yards each year between 1971 and 1973.

5 time Pro Bowler (1970 to 1974)
Super Bowl VIII MVP
2 time Super Bowl Champion (VII and VIII)
8,081 career regular season rushing yards
64 career regular season rushing touchdowns
Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 1987

Csonka left the NFL in 1975 to play with the WFL Memphis Southmen. After the WFL folded half-way through it's second season, Csonka joined the New York Giants where he would play for three seasons. Csonka would finish out his career with one last season as a Miami Dolphin in 1979, rushing for 837 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Larry Csonka's uniform number 39 was retired by the Miami Dolphins.

38 to go!!!

#38 RB George Rogers
New Orleans Saints (1981-1984)
Washington Redskins (1985-1987) ][
2– Pro Bowl selection (1981, 1982)
1981 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
1980 Heisman Trophy winner
College - South Carolina
College Football Hall of Fame​

While the college honors were numerous, Rogers got one of the ultimate honors in football when the New Orleans Saints made him the first pick overall in the 1981 NFL Draft (one pick before the New York Giants selected Lawrence Taylor). He was the first of four Heisman Trophy winners selected by the Saints (Danny Wuerffel in 1996, Ricky Williams in 1999, and Reggie Bush in 2006 were the other three).
In his first season, Rogers led the league in rushing with 1,647 yards, which set a high for rookies at that time. He was selected as the NFL Rookie of the Year for 1981 and earned a trip to the Pro Bowl.
Rogers would spend his first four seasons in New Orleans, and his running ability is credited with bringing the Saints out of its perennial cellar. He played alongside quarterback Archie Manning in 1981 and eventually running back Earl Campbell, who was brought in during the 1984 season.
Rogers would play only three more seasons, all for the Washington Redskins. When he arrived in Washington, Hall of Fame running back John Riggins was ending his professional career, while coach Joe Gibbs was trying to bring the Redskins back to glory. Rogers had some of his biggest professional success in Washington, including another trip to the Pro Bowl and a Super Bowl title on January 31, 1988.
Rogers, however, retired due to nagging injuries after the Redskins beat the Denver Broncos, 42-10, in Super Bowl XXII. When he left the NFL, Rogers had rushed for 7,176 yards with 54 touchdowns in seven seasons.

#37 RB Gerald Riggs - Washington Redskins - (1989–1991)

#42 Atlanta Falcons (1982-1988)
Although he spent many early years with the Falcons, the years with the Redskins
come to mind more often than not because of the ‘Skins Super Bowl win in 1991.
3× Pro Bowl selection (1985, 1986, 1987)
2× All-Pro selection (1984, 1985) 3× Pro Bowl selection (1985, 1986, 1987)

3× Pro Bowl selection (1985, 1986, 1987)
2× All-Pro selection (1984, 1985)
Super Bowl XXVI​

A superb rusher and pass receiver out of the backfield, Riggs made the Pro Bowl three times in his career from 1985 to 1987. His best season was in 1985, when he rushed for 1,719 yards and ten touchdowns, while also catching 33 passes for 267 yards. In the three seasons from 1984-1986, Riggs amassed a whopping 5,212 combined rushing and receiving yards, and scored 32 touchdowns. In his seven years with the Falcons, he rushed for 6,631 yards, making him the franchise all-time leading rusher. Prior to the 1989 season, Riggs was traded to the Washington Redskins.
In his final year of 1991, Riggs rushed for 248 yards and 11 touchdowns, assisting his team to a 14-2 record. He is the only player to rush for 11 touchdowns in fewer than 80 attempts in a single season. He went on to rush for four touchdowns in Washington's two playoff games, and two touchdowns in Washington's 37-24 win over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI. His six touchdowns in the postseason tied an NFL record.
Riggs finished his 10 NFL seasons with 8,188 rushing yards and 69 touchdowns, along with 201 receptions for 1,516 yards.
He is the father of Gerald Riggs Jr., former running back at the University of Tennessee, who was signed by the Miami Dolphins.
