Question

Alexander Mattison ran for 700 yards last season but didn’t run for a touchdown. (He scored 3 TDs, but they all came on pass plays.) Who was the last player to run for even more yards in a season with scoring a rushing touchdown? The player is active.

Answer

Miles Sanders. Sanders ran for 754 yards for the Eagles in 2021 while watching Jalen Hurts score on a bunch of quarterback sneaks. One other player in the last 20 years has run for 700 touchdown-less yards: Frank Gore of the 2018 Dolphins.
