Run, Curtis, run

I've never understood why New York Jets running back Curtis Martin doesn't get more publicity. He may not be the flashiest running back there is, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who's more consistent. Year after year, he rushes for 1,000 yards. And he seems to get a lot of those yards when his team needs them most. There is no doubt in my mind that Martin will someday get into the Hall of Fame. All he needs is a Super Bowl ring to fill out his resume. Unfortunately, as long as he's playing for the Jets, he's not going to get one. Could you please print Martin's career statistics?
