Player first downs are available back to 1991 at NFL dotcom. You have to watch out for any player who played on more than one team in a given season, as the NFL’s site only includes the stats from the most recent team. It’s really weird. You can also get them from Sporting Charts from 1991-2016. You can’t get them moving forward, but the ones from the past are in a much easier to use format than the ones on the league page.

That’s right. My mistake.

It’s the PLAYER first downs that I haven’t found.
