Question

Edgerrin James is going into the Hall of Fame this summer. Early in his career, he was among the most heavily used backs in league history. In each of his first two seasons, he ran for over 1,500 yards and also caught over 60 passes – 881 touches in those two seasons. Who was the last running back to handle the ball even more often in back-to-back seasons (910 touches for this other back)?

Answer

James Wilder (for Tampa Bay in the 1984-85 seasons).
