Question

Who's the only player in NFL history to run for over 9,000 yards but never catch a touchdown pass in his entire career?

Answer

Earl Campbell. What's weird about this is that the first touchdown Campbell scored as a pro was originally thought to be on a pass play. He caught a swing pass from Dan Pastorini and ran 81 yards for a touchdown. But as they looked the film more closely, they decided the pass had traveled backwards, changing it to a 73-yard run. That play can be seen 90 seconds into this highlights package on YouTube.
