Also, how many of those RBs tore the ACL at the beginning of the season instead of the middle or end? That makes a huge difference, as we're seeing this offseason in Jamaal's recovery versus someone like AP's.

It was done between 1998-2002. TD probably skews the data quite a bit. Would have been interesting to see how Jamal Lewis' 2003 numbers would affect the study, because he rushed for 2000 yards two years after tearing his ACL. Lewis did rush for over 1,300 yards the year after he tore his ACL and that was included in the study.
