Career Leaders into 2015.

Here is the list of the returning players that enter the 2015 season as one of the FBS' career leaders. I've listed most offensive and defensive catagories as well as some special teams. If there is a catagory that i did not include that you would like to see in the future tweet me at @philsteele042. You will see below that there are 3 players returning with over 3,000 rush yds, there are 1 player with over 2,500 rec yds, and 3 QB's with over 7,000 pass yds as well as 1 QB with 60 pass TD's. Here are the rest to see if your team has one of the career leaders into the 2015 season.
