Question

Who was the last running back to run for over 1,000 yards as a rookie, then run for even more yards in his second season?

Answer

Chris Johnson, Tennessee. Johnson ran for 1,228 yards as a rookie in 2008. In his second season, he ran for 2,006 season. Since that time, all 13 rookie running backs who went over 1,000 rushing yards have finished with fewer rushing yards in their second year (six of them at least went over 1,000 yards in their second season).
