Odd Players Near the Top in Statistical Categories

[Hail Casares]

Might be fun

For example:

Neil O'Donnell(?!?!) Is 3rd all time in INT%

Not a name I expected to see up there with Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady

It's even more surprising considering his most famous pass is the pick he threw in the SB vs Dallas.

[Bob Gill]

Second and third in the NFL in rushing for 1955: Howie Ferguson and Curly Morrison. Always a favorite of mine, ever since I came across it.

[Rupert Patrick]

Tom Miner of Pittsburgh tying for the league lead in Field Goals (with Paige Cothren of the Rams) with 14 three-pointers in 1958. What makes it so odd was that it was Miner's only season in the NFL.

[Reaser]

Robert Bailey had one career "punt return" and it was the longest punt return in NFL history.

[Bryan]

Longest return of a blocked punt: 67 yards, Frank Filchock Sep 28, 1941

(although I guess this was tallied as a punt return?)

[conace21]

Longest touchdow. Receptions in NFL history. After you get through the list of 99 yards, there's HOF DB Night Train Lane with a 98 yard TD.

[Bob Gill]

Speaking of 98-yard pass plays, Gaynell Tinsley caught one in 1938 from Doug Russell -- Russell's only completion of the season, in seven attempts.

[JKelly]

1973 Oilers Fred Willis is third in total receptions (57) behind Harold Carmichael (67)& Charley Taylor (59). He wasn't the only RB Ed Podolak & Tom Sullivan are also in the top ten with 55 & 50 receptions

[Gary Najman]

In 1986, Bengals punter Jeff Hayes had the 4th longest run of the season (61 yards), after Herschel Walker, Thomas Sanders and Albert Bentley.

My favorite of all that I watched, was in the 1982 playoffs, when Steelers LB Guy Ruff (who, interestingly, wore no. 36) recovered a James Brooks fumble in the endzone for a TD in the opening kickoff against San Diego. It was listed that Ruff saw action in two games, but I was surprised, since I knew the Steelers roster and I had watch all their games that season and didn't noticed Ruff. Anyway, it was odd to see his name in the playoff stats.
