Question
A year after playing for the Giants, Saquon Barkley is a 2,000-yard rusher who’s headed to a Super Bowl. Who is the only other running back who’s run for over 1,000 yards and played in a Super Bowl, a year after playing for a different franchise in the same division. This other running back was a late first-round pick. He ran for 92 and 83 yards in his two Super Bowl games, winning both of them.
Answer
Antowain Smith. Buffalo selected Smith with the 23rd pick of the 1997 draft. Three others have run for over 1,000 yards after playing the previous season with a team in the same division, but without making it to the Super Bowl: Curtis Martin (Patriots/Jets), Jamal Lewis (Ravens/Browns) and David Montgomery (Bears/Lions).
