25. 1243 Norris Weese - OM (71-73)
Amazed to see Cutler in the top 25. You old fogies will recognize a lot of names I don't. :)

Now let's look at the top 10 and match them up with the RB who's career was most similar, in terms of yards and per-carry-average:
Fitzgerald...........Garrison Hearst (UGA)
Tebow................Arian Foster (UT)
M.Jones..............Boom Williams (UK)
Prescott..............Kerryon Johnson (AU)
Bond..................Brandon Bennett (USCe)
Manziel................Elijah Williams (UF)
Dobbs................Raijon Neal (UT)
Hurts.................Jaylen Walton (OM)
Gargis & Smith....Dontae Walker (MSU)
The QBs tend to have more TDs, thanks to sneaks from the 1 yard line.
It's just crazy to imagine that Fitzgerald has had the rushing career of Hearst AND thrown for 5,000 yards.
Or Tebow had Foster's career AND the highest career pass rating in SEC history.

That is amazing. I never would have guessed that remotely as being the case.
-
Fitzgerald will probably end up with similar rushing stats to Derrick Henry or Leonard Fournette...plus the passing yardage & TDs.
-
He throws the ball about as well as either of them.
