26. Steven Jackson

Steven Jackson had a good rookie season, but he was brought in to replace an aging Marshall Faulk, and he would take over as the starting Running Back in 2005.  From there he would become one of the most consistent producers in Rushing Yards where from 2005 to 2012 he never had led than 1,000 Yards on the ground and two of his years would see him hit the 1,400 mark, both of those years was good enough for the top five.  Jackson's best season by far was 2006 where he had not only 1,528 Rushing Yards (his best) but also had a 90 Reception year, which was by far and away from the best number he had in the air and combined he was the league leader in Yards From Scrimmage and All-Purpose Yards.  He would be rewarded with a Second Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl Selection.

In 2009 Jackson would repeat his double honor of the Pro Bowl and Second Team All-Pro with a 1,416 Rushing Yard, which was good enough for second overall.  He would go to his third Pro Bowl the year after.

As of this writing, Jackson is the all-time leading rusher for the Rams with 10,138 Yards.  Adding his 3,324 Receiving Yards, you have a pretty good Rams career.

While this rank may seem a little low, this is a testament to just how many great players the Rams had over their career.
