While not serious, it looks like this could be one of the signs that put Portis in the class of running backs whose time in the league may be short. Few are able to stay in the league for years, like Bettis or Emmitt Smith; most are 3 to 6 year backs or less -- Stephen Davis comes to mind.

Time will tell, and I hope Portis can keep it up for at least three more seasons, but that doesn't appear likely.
