But also look at this.

Bengal rookie rushing leaders

Corey Dillon............1129
Jeremy Hill..............1124 (Only rushed for 1774 more yards over 4 seasons. Never had more than 839 yards in a season)
Ickey Woods...........1066 (Only rushed for 459 more yards over 3 seasons)
Paul Robinson.........1023 (Only rushed for 1924 more yards over 5 seasons. Never had more than 622 yards in a season) 
Boobie Clark '73...... 988 (Only rushed for 2044 more yards over 7 more seasons. Never had more than 684 yards in a season.)

Those are great but Greg Cook has 2 rookie records that have stood for over 50 years:

Most passing yards per attempt

Most passing yards per completion

When you have 2 records that have withstood 50 years; you had a great rookie season; arguably the best ever by an NFL QB
