Comments on: Russell Wilson Will Be The 5th QB Since 1970 To Lead His Team in Rushing Yards http://www.footballperspective.com/russell-wilson-will-be-the-5th-qb-since-1970-to-lead-his-team-in-rushing-yards/ NFL History and Stats Fri, 05 Jan 2018 08:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Mark Growcott http://www.footballperspective.com/russell-wilson-will-be-the-5th-qb-since-1970-to-lead-his-team-in-rushing-yards/#comment-330868 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 08:55:00 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=36271#comment-330868 Russell Wilson as expected led his team in Rushing Yards for the season but he wasn’t the only QB to do this in 2017, Cam Newton lead the Panthers for the 2nd time (previously 2012) and thus 2017 is the first season since the merger with 2 QBs leading their respective teams in Rushing Yards. Newton joins Cunningham in doing this on multiple occasions.

Newton led his team in Rushing Yds in 7 different games and Wilson on 6 occasions. I don’t know what the record is for Most games in a season leading the team in Rushing Yds by a QB is, but I would guess that Newton’s total would be near the top.

Any time a discussion of “running QB” comes up, my first thought it Douglass.

I never saw him play though.
