Few runners in NFL history have burst onto the scene with as many highlight-reel runs as Dolphins running back De’Von Achane had in his rookie season.

Achane finished this season with 103 carries for 800 yards, a spectacular average of 7.8 yards per carry.

How long has it been since a running back averaged more yards per carry while running the ball 100 times? The last time it happened was in 1934, when Bears rookie Beattie Feathers averaged 8.4 yards per carry, running 119 times for 1,004 yards.

Two quarterbacks, Michael Vick and Randall Cunningham, have also topped 7.5 yards per carry in a season with at least 100 carries. But Achane and Feathers now are the only two running backs to have done it, 89 years apart.

Jalen Hurts scoring three touchdowns and a two-point conversion were the first 20 points ever scored in Super Bowl play by a former Alabama player. The same goes for Missouri, which finally got on the Super Bowl scoreboard after Nick Bolton's touchdown.

What he says is true, from a certain point of view.

However; I say Hurts finished college at Alabama. He left with a BA in communication.
