Some minor Jamaal Charles trivia for you on a Friday.


Jamaal has 6,856 rushing yards in his career on 1,249 rushes. This ranks 61st in NFL history.

If he maintains the yardage he's had the past three years, he'll move up past Larry Csonka to the #46 ranking.

To find a person on the top rushing list with fewer carries, you have to go to the 85th rank and Michael Vick, though of course Vick is a quarterback so it's a different thing. The nearest running back with fewer than 1,249 carries appears to be Greg Pruitt of the 1970s Browns. Pruitt is ranked 95th in the list with 1,196 carries for 5,672 yards (a stellar 4.7 ypc average). He's almost 1,200 yards behind Jamaal with only 53 fewer carries.
