Question
Alex Collins has run for 478 yards and is averaging 6.0 yards per carry, yet he hasn't scored a touchdown. Checking through the numbers, there have been three running backs in the last 21 years who've run for over 750 yards without scoring a rushing touchdown. All three players began their careers with the same team. What was said franchise?
Answer
Arizona Cardinals. They drafted Garrison Hearst, who ran for 847 yards but no touchdowns for Cincinnati in 1996. Marcel Shipp made the Cardinals as an undrafted player out of Massachusetts; he ran for 830 yards in 2003 but scored no touchdowns at all. And Michael Pittman was originally drafted by Arizona; he ran for 751 yards for the Bucs in 2003, but his only 2 TDs that year came on receptions.
