Question

Who are the only two players in NFL history who’ve averaged at least 5 yards per carry four years in a row? (With at least 100 rushing attempts in each of those seasons.) Both of these guys played in the NFL in 2021.

Answer

Nick Chubb and Cam Newton. Chubb has averaged at least 5 yards per carry in each of his four seasons. It’s an active streak. With Newton, he did it in his first four seasons (2011-2014). The stat searching tools at Pro-Football-Reference indicate that another Cleveland running back, Marion Motley, did this in 1947-1950, but three of those seasons occurred in the All-America Football Conference (the league that gave the NFL the Browns and 49ers).
