12. Baseball...
If the city can change, then could be the Oakland Athletics who moved there from KC and before that from Philly. The Philadelphia Athletics were a very old franchise.

12. Which Major League Baseball team has had its current name the longest time?
The Philadelphia Phillies have been known by that name exclusively since 1890. Second is the Pittsburgh Pirates since 1891

And FYI....for the NFL, it is the Green Bay Packers. They joined the NFL in its second year of existance in 1921. For that 1921 season the Chicago team was still The Staleys. They became the Bears in 1922. The Cardinals name has been used since 1920....but of course they have been from Chicago to St. Louis to Arizona, so that part of the name has changed.
In basketball....it is The New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, both in use in the original 1946-47 NBA season.
In hockey, it is the Montreal Canadiens.....in use continuously since the original NHL season of 1916-17

2.Marshawn Lynch (29)74 2007-2015 2TM
3.Frank Gore (32)68 2005-2015 2T
4.Steven Jackson (32)68 2004-2014 2TM
5.Arian Foster (29)54 2009-2015
6Chris Johnson (30)54 2008-2015 3TM
7.DeAngelo Williams (32)51 2006-2015 2TM

11.BenJarvus Green-Ellis (30)42 2008-2013 2TM
12.Cam Newton (26)40 2011-2015 car
Of course, Jim Brown, when he retired at age 29 had 106. Of the above list it appears that Shady McCoy has the best chance of reaching toward 100 in his career.....if he stays healthy....which he has not been lately.

Look to a couple of youngsters to have a chance - Bell and Gurley look in a league of their own in younger years.

Long way to go with them though. Hell, the best "young" TD scorer in this group is QB Cam Newton.
Nice to have a force like that down at the goal line.

That plus the league's continuing shift away from an emphasis on the run.
