If anybody wants to know how John Riggins could post top numbers seemingly well past his chronilogical peak. Look at this video of a 60ish Riggins splitting rails and doing physical yard work. His body fat is lower than most people in their 30's that do that work for a living. He might have the best genetics for strength and muscle density of any running back in the history of the NFL....http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=AXQw9eNudBQ
