[David Yudkin]

I venture that this one will be impossible to answer without hitting the databases, but here goes anyway . . .What were the Top 10 seasons for YPC average since 1960 for a RB with at least 1,000 yards rushing?What were the Top 10 seasons for YPR average since 1960 for a WR with at least 1,000 yards receiving?

[Aabye]

Portis had a couple of 5.5 years in Denver. Don't know if that's good enough to make the list though.

Portis had years at 5.52 and 5.49, good enough to just miss the list.

[jurb26]

Jim Brown should be on this list again, no?

 

[dgreen]

Jim Brown should be on this list again, no?

No. He had a 5.9 in 1958, but this is only 1960+.David, AFL included?

 

[Sheriff66]

Gale Sayers 1968

 

[David Yudkin]

Jim Brown should be on this list again, no?

Brown may have had other seasons above 5.55 YPC, but not since 1960.

 

[jurb26]

What about Robert Smith? I know he had some nice years in that Minn O.

 

[Pipes]

James Brooks had a phenominal year in 1988 or 89 I believe. I think he averaged in the mid 5's

 

[Aabye]

A young Franco HarrisEDIT: Yeah, 1972 - 5.61

 

[David Yudkin]

David, AFL included?

Yes

 

[norseman9375]

What about Robert Smith? I know he had some nice years in that Minn O.

I was thinking the same thing, but his highest was 5.45.

Randy Moss shold make the list at least 2 times, maybe 3. 1998-2000.Rice as well, 1985-1989 has to produce a few I would think.

Maybe Randy Moss's rookie year? He was close to 20 yprEDIT: Nevermind. If it takes 26 ypr to make the list, I'm sure he's way down there.

Seeing how high that is, I'm not so sure on Moss or Rice. Loften had 2 over 22.0.

Lance Alworth in '65? Holy crap, he had a terrific ypr over his career.

I wonder who the last reciever to average over 20 YPC is (with the same 1000 yard qualifier). I see that Jerry Rice had one in 1988. Anyone do it later than that?

I found someone who did it later. Care to guess who?
