Question

J.D. McKissic caught 80 passes last year; he was originally undrafted. Austin Ekeler the previous season caught 92 passes; he was also originally undrafted. Who are the only other three running backs who have caught 70-plus passes in a season who originally entered the league as undrafted free agents? The hardest of the three, like McKissic, began his career with the Seahawks but played his best ball for other teams (his big receiving season came for a team that is in Seattle’s division).

Answer

Derek Loville caught 87 passes for the 49ers in 1995. Pierre Thomas had 77 catches for the Saints in 2013. Priest Holmes had back-to-back seasons with 74 and 70 catches for Kansas City.
