Ryan Grant = Big Plays

Posted Feb. 13 at 09:29 AM

Ryan Grant did a better job of breaking loose for long runs than anyone last year. Despite hardly playing the first half of the season, he finished the year with 11 runs of 20-plus yards.

On average, he busted a long run for every 17 times he carried the ball. That ranked No. 1 among the 49 running backs who carried the ball at least 100 times.

The other leaders in that category are shown below.
