No rb will have the longevity to break that record. Even if they did they won't have enough carries to do it. He averaged 20 carries a game for 15 years and in those 15 years I think he missed a total of like 10 games. I can't see Jerry Rice being broken either but in this pass happy league there's def a chance. There's also 3-5 or so really good WRs getting drafted every year. By sheer probability one of them over time might come close. Almost every team has a Class A receiver or one that's capable of putting up 1300+ yards a season.

The way the league is set up receiving records are more likely to be broken than rushing records. Even though it's hard to fathom either one being broken at this point.

They'll both be broken eventually as with every other record. Science will keep prolonging athletes careers more and more over time. It'll be a while though.

Neither will be broken in our lifetimes but maybe a receiver who is drafted at 20/21 can come in early with a few 1500 yard seasons at the beginning of his career can threaten Rice's records but it still takes an insane amount of longevity that means you would have to still be a 1000 yard receiver 15 plus years into your career. Randy Moss probably had a legit chance at some of the records if he didn't "play when he wanted to play" and dedicated himself to the game like he was supposed to.
