Question
Lionel James, a star in the ‘80s at Auburn and with the Chargers, died on Friday. Despite his small stature (5-6, 171)), James piled up 1,543 yards from scrimmage in 1985. Who are the only other two running backs standing 5-foot-6 who have gone for 1,000 rushing-receiving yards in an NFL season?
Answer
Darren Sproles and Tarik Cohen. Like James, Sproles started his career with the Chargers and did most of his damage as a pass catcher. In his first season with the Saints in 2011, Sproles totaled 1,313 yards. Cohen went for 444 rushing and 725 receiving yards for the Bears in 2018.
