That places him 4th all time in attempts, but the kicker is he went 4.8 per in his career with us. Nobody is really close to his ypc average, as a rb, with that type of carries.
Holds the Bengals single season record for yards from scrimmage (rush+receiving) with 1773 in '86.
Three seasons with 1500 yards from scrimmage ties Dillon for most as a Bengals (Rudi is the only other back to do it).
Led league with 5.3 avg per carry ('86), and averaged 5.6 when he had a career high 1239 rushing yards in '89.
Only five seasons ever where a Bengal RB had 1000+ yds and a 5.0+ avg. Brooks has three of them.
No stat for this but for a guy who just weighed about 185 he was a brutal blocker, and in my opinion Warrick Dunn is the only other RB that small who ran as hard between the tackles.
JB was a tough son of a ***** and one of my all time favorite Bengals.
