Top 10 oddities
Cookie Gilchrist went straight from high school to the CFL then the Bills, he was the first 1000 yard rusher in the new AFL.
Joe "Jet" Perry Niners only JCer to have a 1000 yard season, first black RB to gain a 1000 and the first RB to have consecutive 1000 yard seasons. Compton JC
Dick Bass the first Ram to gain a 1000 in a season, out of UOP
Speaking of the Rams, before Bass....Tank Younger Grambling and Deacon Dan Towler Washington & Jefferson probably the fist great one two punch at RB, both around 225 in the 50's.
