Some running backs wear down as the season goes on. With Henry, it seems to be the opposite. I looked at all of his regular-season games the last three years...
Rookie kickers

Quinn Nordin, Tristan Vizcaino (pictured), Matt Ammendola and Ryan Santoso all come to mind. None of these guys were NFL-caliber kickers at the college level...
Mile High on Denver

Jones is entering his third season as the Giants quarterback, and while the team has put some nice players around him at the skill positions, it hasn't happened on the offensive line...
Matt Ryan

Ryan is 36 -- old, but we're certainly seeing some quarterbacks be effective even older...
Preseason momentum?
4 Sep
, 2021
Since 2000, 42 teams have gone unbeaten and untied in the preseason...
Baltimore Ravens
3 Sep
, 2021
As it stands, they have only three running backs. Gus Edwards has run for just over 700 yards three years in a row; he doesn’t have much speed but can bang out yards between the tackles...
Carlos Hyde

Hyde is 30, but I think he can still play. He ran for 1,070 yards with Houston two years ago, and he ran for 79 yards and a touchdown in his only start last year (with the Seahawks)...

Third-down backs

, 2021
It’s an idea we were kicking around on the podcast, and I wanted to play around with the numbers some...
Houston Texans
