In the 1996 NFL Draft, the Houston Oilers (now Tennessee Titans) selected George with the 14th overall pick. The draft choice more than paid off for the franchise. George is the record holder for career rushing yards for the organization with 10,441 yards. He's also the only running back in NFL history to have 300 or more carries in eight straight seasons. The four-time Pro-Bowler never missed a game with Tennessee across 128 starts.

“It's such an honor to be considered for the NFL Hall of Fame,” George told the Tennessee Titans writing staff. “[It's] something that's completely out of your control. You try not to think about it, but to be considered for this – a semifinalist – is tremendous. I'm jus truly, truly floored and honored.”
