Is there a back in the league that starts all 16 games every year??

Injuries are part of the game, especially for RB's and especially for guys like Davis who's playing style involves a lot of contact.
true very few rbs start every game every year(which makes it hard to understand why brett favre gets so much accolade for his consecutive start streak(192 i believe, playoffs excluded) and not eddie george(129 games po's excluded) who got pounded roughly 20 more times a game than favre.)

but I'd rather have a rb having to sit out because of a bruised sternum rather than nagging or reoccuring leg injuries.
