Looking to add some depth at running back, the New York Giants signed free agent backs Ryan Torain and Kregg Lumpkin. A source confirmed Torain and Lumpkin worked out for the Giants along with free agent Ryan Grant and Cadillac Williams, as first ...

Let's take a look at some statistical superlatives from Tampa Bay's 27-21 overtime victory against Carolina on Sunday, with some help from ESPN Stats & Information and the Buccaneers' media relations department. The Bucs have won four straigh...

For only the second time in its history, the NFC South could finish a season without a 1,000-yard rusher. A player needs to average 62.5 yards per game to reach a 1,000. At the moment, Tampa Bay's Doug Martin is the only NFC South player on pace f...

Teams shouldn't spend a top-five pick on a running back in this pass-happy age of football. Two knee surgeries in less than a year reveal that Trent Richardson is damaged goods. Even Jim Brown, the greatest runner in Browns -- and perhaps NFL -- hist...

The Arizona Cardinals were pleased when more than 10,000 fans turned out for their 2009 camp scrimmage, held six months after the team's Super Bowl appearance. Drawing an estimated 14,500 fans on Saturday appears more impressive after two less ins...

The injury Ryan Williams suffered during his second NFL exhibition game was relatively unusual for football players. "My kneecap was in my thigh," the Arizona Cardinals' running back said during a team-produced video on his rehabilitation. "It was...

The St. Louis Rams have 20 players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. I'm not sure any of them qualify as players the Rams absolutely must bring back, particularly with a new coach and new schemes on both sides of the ball. Receiver ...

The 2011 season was memorable across the NFC South for many reasons, both good and bad. We saw the Saints go 13-3 while setting all sorts of records and we saw Tampa Bay fall apart about as completely as any team ever has. We saw the Atlanta Falco...
