This inspired me to dig a little deeper into Bengals rookie seasons for running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. There's a good chance I am missing player(s), as this was from the top of my head with help from PFR. These are scrimmage yards. I realize they're not strictly comparable by position or by era, but whatever. It's neat to see where things stand.
Corey Dillion, 1997 - 1388
Jeremy Hill, 2014 - 1339
Ickey Woods, 1988 - 1265
Giovani Bernard, 2013 - 1209
AJ Green, 2011 - 1110
Eddie Brown, 1985 - 1071
Cris Collinsworth, 1981 - 1009
Darnay Scott, 1994 - 972
Isaac Curtis, 1973 - 834
Ja'Marr Chase, 2021 - 752
Note: Bob Trumpy (1968) still leads the tight end rookies at 638. Only Tony McGee and Dan Ross come particularly close, if I am not missing anyone.
