Rushing:
Walter Payton (2nd all-time) played his entire career for the Bears.
Barry Sanders (4th all-time) played his entire career for the Lions.
Jim Brown (11th all-time) played his entire career for the Browns.
Tiki Barber (27th all-time) played his entire career for the Giants.
Derrick Henry (36th all-time) has so far only suited up for the Titans.
Note: If Nick Chubb hits 1600 more yards with the Browns, he’ll be tied for 50th and would add another name to the one-team list.
Passing:
Ben Roethlisberger (5th all-time) played his entire career for the Steelers.
Dan Marino (8th all-time) played his entire career for the Dolphins.
Eli Manning (10th all-time) played his entire career for the Giants.
John Elway (12th all-time) played his entire career for the Broncos.
Dan Fouts (20th all-time) played his entire career for the Chargers.
Jim Kelly (32nd all-time) played his entire career for the Bills.
Tony Romo (39th all-time) played his entire career for the Cowboys.
Phil Simms (41st all-time) played his entire career for the Giants.
Troy Aikman (44th all-time) played his entire career for the Cowboys.
Ken Anderson (45th all-time) played his entire career for the Bengals.
John Brodie (50th all-time) played his entire career for the 49ers.
Note: Matthew Stafford is about 1k yards from knocking Eli out of the top 10. Jared Goff is about 1k yards away from knocking Brodie out of the top 50. Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes could realistically enter the top 50 this year too, which would add a couple more active guys to the one-team list. Josh Allen is 10k from the top 50, so he’s two very good seasons away, but more likely 3.

Larry Fitzgerald (2nd all-time) played his entire career for the Cardinals.
Marvin Harrison (9th all-time) played his entire career for the Colts.
Reggie Wayne (10th all-time) played his entire career for the Colts.
