Turns out that some guys weren’t nearly as unlucky as they seem: while Shockey and Gonzalez were tackled at the 1 yardline a combined 30 times, they also scored 17 one-yard TDs, so that really takes away the sting! With 9 and 8 respectively, that’s the most and tied for second most short TDs since 1999.

As it turns out, that doesn’t change the top of the unlucky list much. Steve Smith, Ward, and now Welker net out as the most unlucky (only 2 combined 1 yard TDs), while Finneran, Breaston, Smith again, and Nelson have the largest net percentage.

Meanwhile, in addition to the TEs I metioned, Harrison, Fitzgerald, Moss, and Holt have the least to grumble about with their combined 16 short TDs.

Makes me wonder who has netted the most 1 yard TDs over being tackled at the one. Actually, looking at the TD list it’s undoubtedly Mike Vrabel, but I wonder what the rest of the names are. Witten certainly has a chance with 5 short TDs.
