Ryan Tannehill becomes Miami Dolphins’ all-time leading QB runner

[Perfect72]

With 19 rushing yards against the Rams on Sunday, including a 10-yard scramble in the third quarter, Ryan Tannehill became the Dolphins’ all-time leader in that department among quarterbacks.

Tannehill now has 1,011 yards on the ground, moving him just ahead of Bob Griese’s 994. Tannehill hit that number in a mere 74 games, compared to Griese doing it in 161, and is averaging five yards per carry for his career.
There have been 29 quarterbacks in NFL history to crack 1,000 yards. Tannehill ranks 28th all-time and can pass Doug Flutie with 31 more yards.

People forget what a great player Bob Griese was, probably because it was forty years ago and Marino came after he did.

As ****ty as some of the O-ine he stood behind I thought he would have passed this years ago.

Curious to see the players ahead of him and how many games it took them

do they count sacks in that rushing total?

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

They do not. QB kneeldowns count against the rushing total, while sacks are considered a team statistic that are only factored into advanced statistics for the quarterback.
