Not often, but then the NFL statkeeping back then is pretty barebones too. There were no tackles, no sacks. 

If you go to NFL.com their individual stats only go back to 1970, or 8 years of 14 games.

When they pointed out that a RB only needed to average 62.5 yards a game to get 1000 yards in a 16 game season, it really made me stop and think. 

Yeah, it can feel like that if you break it down and think about it. If it's done at a high YPC, then I would say it's still pretty good. You can get 286 carries at 3.5ypc and go over 1,000 yards and that's not particularly special but I think 200 carries at 5.0ypc for 1k yards is still an impressive season.

With 17 games it's now just 58.8 yards per game.
