Does Penn State still rank No. 2 in all-time rushing yards in the NFL? *

DJ should not be on this list. He would be argument against coming to PSU.

In no particular order - Richie Anderson, Fran Rogel, Brian Milne, Dick Hoak, Tim Manoa, Steve Smith, Mike Guman and Matt Suhey give you 15,631 yards rushing in the NFL.

Add Leroy Thompson's 1390 NFL career rushing yards to the total

 

[CoastFan]

Couple of other names: Sam Gash and Booker Moore. Gash actually had more yards as a receiver (1347) in the NFL but rushed for 327 over a long career. Booker was a first round pick of the Buffalo Bills. His NFL career didn't reflect that sort of draft status because of an illness which shortened his career substantially. He rushed for 420 yards.

Williamsport's Gary Brown 4,300 yards.

 

[LBCnova]

416 for Royster

 

[CoastFan]

Brown had two 1000+ yards rushing seasons and came very close to a third. He had a very fine NFL career.

We had an amazing run of great RBs in the NFL. That went south with injuries and whatnot in the 90's and 2000's. Outside of LJ, we really haven't made an impact in the league lately. Hopefully Barkley changes that.

There was a guy who played RB for a number of years with the Bengals. Wore 22 in college and NFL. Kenny Green ?????

Kenny Watson. Great return man at PSU. Turned into a solid RB for the Bengals.
