Question

What four rookies ranked in the top 10 in rushing during the second half of last year? (That is, set aside the first eight games for each team; what four rookies had the most rushing yards in their teams’ final eight games.)

Answer

Saquon Barkley and Nick Chubb are the easy two. Many will reasonably guess Sony Michel and Phillip Lindsay, and those backs both ran for just over 500 yards in their final eight games (top 14 for both). But the sneaky parts of this question both come from the Ravens. Gus Edwards ran for 664 yards in the second half of the season and Lamar Jackson ran for 566. That slots them 5th and 9th.
