ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Clinton Portis is chasing John Riggins as the Washington Redskins’ all-time leading rusher – but don’t expect them to be best pals when the moment finally comes.
Portis used his 28th birthday Tuesday to take a few more potshots at the Redskins legend. After calling Riggins a great running back, Portis added: “Think of who else was around him. That was really not hard to be a great running back when you’ve got that talent all around you.”
Riggins rushed for more than 7,000 yards for the Redskins in the 1970s and ’80s, much of it behind the famous “Hogs” offensive line.
Riggins has been critical of Portis. Earlier this year, he called Portis “a headache” who “has the team over a barrel.”
