Much has been made of the superlative stats many Browns skill players are putting up this year, and for good reason. But I haven’t seen these cited:
- This is the first season since 2004 in which two Browns running backs have rushed for at least 200 yards.
- It’s also now the first season with three RBs exceeding 100 yards on the ground since 2003, when four players did it.
- Jerome Harrison is third among all NFL running backs in yards per carry. He’s first if you exclude those whose average is skewed by a carry of 40 or more yards.
- Lawrence Vickers’ 40 yards rushing is the most by a Browns fullback in a single season since the team’s return in 1999.
- Prior to this season, the last Brown running back to exceed four yards per carry was Lee Suggs in 2003. Lewis, Wright, and Harrison are all north of four now.
- The 2007 Browns are almost certain to have the highest receiving yard totals in new Browns history for their first, second, and third receivers. Braylon already has the best single-season total since 1999. Winslow already has the most receiving yards among the players who ranked second each year. Jurevicius is 64 yards away from matching Dennis Northcutt’s 2002 total of 601 yards, most among #3 receivers.
