Jones-Drew Out To Surpass Smith's All-Time Mark
Oct 31, 2014 1:29 PM
Maurice Jones-Drew is still looking for a long-term contract from the Jaguars, but that hasn't kept him to setting some lofty goals.
Jones-Drew was asked Tuesday if he believed he could catch Emmitt Smith for the all-time rushing record.
"Yeah, I think it's doable," he told ESPN Radio in Denver. "I definitely think it's doable."
Jones-Drew explained why he'd probably need a great deal of help to achieve the feat.
"Once again, Emmitt Smith was in a different situation than a lot of us, though," he said. "I mean, he had a Hall of Fame receiver, Hall of Fame quarterback, Hall of Fame offensive line, Hall of Fame fullback. Whoever put that team together did a heck of a job, and it just showed.
"Don't get me wrong: he was the reason they won, but he had a lot of guys around him as well."
