[David Yudkin]

From what I can tell, there have been 6 Modern Era (post 1960) running backs that have compiled at least 5,000 rushing yards over their careers but DID NOT have a season with over 1,000 rushing yards. Who were they.

I didn't include Hugh McElhenny as he played mostly pre-1960, but he would be another in the 5,000+ career rushing yards without a 1,000+ yard season (5,281).

Lenny Moore is another one that played several years in the 50s. He would qualify at 5,174.
