Editing Terrell Davis (section)

===Later career===
After the 1998 season, Davis was plagued with injuries and saw action infrequently. In 1999, Davis tore the [[anterior cruciate ligament]] and [[medial collateral ligament]] of his right knee while trying to make a tackle on an [[interception]] thrown against the [[1999 New York Jets season|New York Jets]], during the fourth game of the season. This injury kept him out for the remainder of the year.<ref name="injuries">{{cite web| url= https://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/broncos/2002-08-18-davis-retires.htm |title=Davis Says Goodbye |publisher= | work= usatoday.com |date=August 20, 2002 |access-date=February 3, 2014}}</ref>

In the 2000 season, Davis was sidelined for all but five games because of a stress reaction injury in his lower leg. In 2001, he only played in eight games because of [[Arthroscopy|arthroscopic surgery]] on both knees.<ref name= "injuries" />

Davis [[retirement|retired]] during the preseason of 2002. He walked through the tunnel in uniform for the final time during a preseason Denver–[[2002 San Francisco 49ers season|San Francisco 49ers]] matchup held at [[Invesco Field at Mile High]]. To a [[standing ovation]], he gave a mile-high salute to the fans and was hugged by his teammates. After walking to midfield as the lone Broncos player at the [[coin flipping|coin toss]], Davis retreated to the sideline. He spent the second half in street clothes. The following week, upon his request, he was placed on [[injured reserve]], ending his season and effectively ending his career.<ref name="injuries" />

Through his first four seasons, Davis rushed for 6,413 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and 56 touchdowns. Among the 24 modern-era [[Pro Football Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] halfbacks and fullbacks, only [[Earl Campbell]] (6,457, 4.6 yards per carry) and [[Eric Dickerson]] (6,968, 4.8 yards per carry) had more rushing yards during their first four seasons; no member of the Hall of Fame matched Davis' first-four-season 56 rushing touchdowns. Davis was selected for [[ESPN]]'s All-Time 40-Man [[Super Bowl]] roster as a running back for his performances in Super Bowls [[Super Bowl XXXII|XXXII]] and [[Super Bowl XXXIII|XXXIII]].

Overall, Davis finished his seven NFL seasons with 7,607 rushing yards, 169 receptions for 1,280 yards, and 65 touchdowns (60 rushing and 5 receiving). He, [[John Elway]], and [[Peyton Manning]] are the only three Broncos to be named league MVP. Davis is one of only six players ever to rush for more than 1,000 yards in the postseason (1,140), and out of the six he is the only one to do so in a career that lasted less than 12 seasons. Davis finished his career with 12 playoff rushing touchdowns, good for fourth all-time tied with [[Marshawn Lynch]] and [[John Riggins]].<ref>{{cite web |title=NFL Rushing Touchdowns Career Leaders |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rush_td_career_playoffs.htm |website= pro-football-reference.com |publisher=Pro Football Reference |access-date=February 11, 2020 |date=February 11, 2020}}</ref>
