Fans of the truly obscure, take note: I have unearthed the ignominious Browns tenure of Pete Athas. Sandwiched in his six-season NFL career was a stint of just six games for the dreadful 1975 Browns. Despite touching the ball on only 13 occasions (six kickoff returns, five punt returns, and two fair catches), he fumbled three times.
You might be inclined to believe, charitably, that this 23% rate was an aberration. Yes, it is, sort of. For his career, Athas touched the ball 152 times and had 15 fumbles. Hey, that’s not even ten percent!
