How many players have scored rushing, receiving, KR and PR TDs in a se (1 Viewer)

[nxmehta]

When Cribbs ran one in today the question came to mind whether anyone has scored at least one rushing, receiving, kick return and punt return TD in a single season. Is Cribbs the only one?

Also, I wonder if anyone has done all that PLUS a passing TD. Too bad Cribbs threw a goal line INT instead of a TD this year...

Without looking I would think Brian Westbrook did. Gonna check.

westbrook never returned kickoffs

No kick return TD, damn.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

westbrook never returned kickoffs

Sure he did.

I'm gonna guess that Eric Metcalf did it when he was with the Browns.

Edit: Nope, both of his KR TDs came in a season when he didn't return any punts.

Damn I looked it up I was wrong. He has 1 in his career.

I think David Patten did it in one game.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

No on Mel Gray, Eric Metcalf and Dave Meggett.

Hmm.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Brian Mitchell in 1997 and 2000.

Deion?

This would be cake if I had a database to run queries against.

 

[TommyGilmore]

ProFootball-Reference says there are 13 players who have scored a Rushing, Receiving, Punt Return and Kick Return TD in the same season -- the most recent being Brian Mitchell, who actually did it twice (1997 and 2000).

Five of those players ALSO threw a TD pass in the same season, including Gayle Sayers (1965) and Terry Metcalf (1975).

Well I got off my ### and figured out how to use pro football reference, and it turns out a bunch of players have achieved this feat. Brian Mitchell is indeed the one who's done it most recently.

Also, it looks like about 5 players have gotten the passing TD as well, although the last time that happened was with Terry Metcalf in 1975. Some dude named Spec Sanders in 1946 had 4 pass TDs, 6 rush TDs, 3 recv TDs, 1 KR TD and 1 PR TD. Holy crap!!!

He also had an interception return TD that year. LOL

Happened 14 times in NFL history.

Cribbs, Brian Mitchell, Billy "White Shoes" Johnson and Terry Metcalf are the only ones to do so since the merger.

Dude led the AAFC in rushing yards in '46 and '47 and then led the NFL in interceptions in '50.

didn't david patten do this in one game

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Brian Mitchell was the oldest and 2nd oldest person to accomplish that feat.

 

[TommyGilmore]

didn't david patten do this in one game

That was for passing/rushing/receiving TDs in one game, which had only been done one other time since the merger (Walter Payton in 1979). LaDainian Tomlinson duplicated the hat trick in 2005.
