It's a possibility, but he has to stay healthy, and as people have
said, it's rare for a running back to play long enough to have a shot at the record. I think it's more of a rarity to see a halfback playing in the NFL into his late thirties and early forties than a wide out. It's
unlikely since he would be unlikely playing football that long based on the toll playing halfback would take on his body for so long.

LT has the best shot to break the record than anyone. He absorbs hits very well and that will help him stay healthy as will his running style. He catches more balls than anyone on his team and is a threat throwing the ball with 6 TD's in 5 years. If he plays 8 more years he could very easily catch Rice if he averages 13 TD's a year which would be easy since he can score by running, catching or throwing TD's. The next player closest to LT is Larry Johnson who has 43 TD's in his fourth season but only two seasons as a starter. LT still has the better chance because of the nucleus of younger players around him that would probably stay around longer in the Chargers' system.

If Randy decides to play 20 season like Rice, then of course he will reach the 200 TD barrier, but if he retires in lets about 4 or 5 more seasons, than measn he has to average more than 10 TDs a season, and Moss can do that, he does hold the record for most TDs in a season, if he sticks with Tom Brady he will reach Jerrys record

As previously stated it's rough for a running back to be able to handle many years of such abuse on their body. LT may score more then 30tds this year, but a toll will be taken on his body. He's in amazing physical shape but a simple injury could delay his approach of the record.
I don't think he'll break Rice's record, but I think he's got a good chance to do so. What's the record for rushing TDs? I'd say he's easily got a shot at that.

If he stays healthy and Rivers continues to produce the answer will be a big yes. The chargers could be in clover for years to come. Wish the Giants hadn't traded for Manning he must have been adopted he certainly is playing nothing like any other Manning ever has.

I would doubt it. A wide receiver has the advantage of playing until they are almost 40. Look how quickly Priest Holmes went from TD machine to practically out of football. I hope he can play that long but RBs take so many hits, I would be surprised if he can play past 30.
