Re: Obscure trivia
Tony Canadeo Good one. I think he's the most obscure 1,000-yard rusher from the days when that was still a rare accomplishment -- i.e., before Jim Brown and Jim Taylor. Feathers is remembered because he was the first; Spec Sanders because he was the first to average 100 yards per game; Van Buren wa...

Re: Obscure trivia
I have Lowe as being 29 at the start of the 1965 season, so I don't have him on my list. But perhaps that's a technicality. According to pro-football-reference, Lowe turned 30 in September 1966, so calling him 29 in 1965 doesn't seem like a technicality. I thought of Dick Bass and Floyd Little, but...

Re: More fodder. . .
Philosophically, they did call more groundings but fewer than I saw happen. A QB can fiht, flail, play 100% while a defender who has to go 80% when he gets near a QB so there is a competitive disadvantage to begin with, and if a QB can just flip the ball away inside the pocket like they can now out...

Re: More fodder. . .
"Eliminating the pocket requirement might help quarterbacks avoid the types of hits that produce injuries." I don't think that's true. It seemed to me that they called intentional ground more last year than any time in the last decade or so (which means like once every two games, but still...

Re: Obscure trivia
One is Gary Garrison, 1968-71. And Buddy Dial (1960-63) just missed, averaging 19.6 one year and 19.8 another.
Paul Warfield would've qualified if he hadn't missed three games in 1970.

Re: Obscure trivia
Jim Taylor Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's in there. I was going to nominate himself a few posts back, but somehow I got it into my head that the number mentioned in the original question was FORTY rather than 20. I'm sure Taylor hit 20, and probably somebody else did before O.J. too. Sayers or Leroy Ke...

Re: Obscure trivia
I was the number one draft choice for the same team two years in a row. The first time I was drafted, I was a junior and not eligible. The next year that same team drafted me but I never wanted to play in the NFL and didn't. What's more amazing is this wasn't done by Daniel Snyder I won't give this...
