Ha! You're right -- and he wasn't named by the Sporting News or Pro Football Weekly either. So the guy I have in mind was not the only one. Very interesting.

This is something I just thought of today. What NFL rushing leader failed to show up on a single all-pro first or second team for the season when he topped the league?

Admittedly, I haven't checked every single season, so it's possible that more than player qualifies here, but I doubt it.

Interesting. Where did you find these unofficial rushing leaders? And does that source have accounts for passing and receiving? Not sure if this was the source of the previous post, but there's a Coffin Corner article on this site that covers the rushing, receiving and passing leaders for 1920-31, ...

Doing some 'research' on old RBs, and noticed a discrepancy with Cliff Battles rushing totals. In my Neft/Cohen encyclopedia, it lists Battles with 511 yards in 1934 and 310 yards in 1935. Pro Football Refence shows Battles with 480 yards in 1934 and 230 in 1935. Which is correct? And why is there ...

However, I should note that if individual rushing yardage totals were available before 1932 that Red Grange would also likely have been top five career rise at one point as he started in 1925 and his first five seasons don’t have rushing yard totals. Sure, Grange might have cracked the list. Even b...

Yet another interesting list. Thanks for posting! I had never heard of Campiglio until now. He was a teammate of Doug Wycoff so two Stapletons were in the 1932 top 5. Hoerschenmeyer was a surprise. I wouldn't have thought he was ever career top 5. Campiglio, in fact, was listed as the 1932 rushing ...

Bud Grant's teams, in their four Super Bowl defeats, never scored a point in the first half. Interesting. I never noticed that. Don Shula had sort of the opposite problem: In his five championship game losses (four Super Bowls and the 1964 game against the Browns), his teams were shut out in the SE...

For me, XX Patriots-Bears and XXIV Broncos-49ers (inspite of the scoring and the players) were boring blowouts. I remember in both games stop watching. On a side note, I consider that the NFL Films highlights of Super Bowl XX were the worst produced of any of the first 25 Super Bowls by far. Very d...

Broncos-Seahawks for me. Literally from the first snap, it was clear that one team came to play and one absolutely did not. Dumb mistakes throughout, not a single minute of drama or suspense...an unfortunate throwback to when lopsided Super Bowls were the rule, rather than the exception they've bee...
