Green-Ellis (Mr. Never Fumbles) had 3 for us in 2012. AJ Green had 3 fumbles in 2014 on only 71 touches. Gresh had 3 fumbles in 2 different seasons.

I counted 19, but here's the deal. The only people on that list Hill has a better YPC than?

Melvin Gordon
Matt Jones
Tre Mason

That's it. Out of the list of 20 RBs with at least 3 fumbles, Hill has the 4th worst YPC. You could even expand it to not just a higher YPC than Hill, but "anyone with 3+ fumbles and YPC under 4.0" and you'd only add one more name to that list, with 32-year-old Frank Gore at 3.7 YPC.

Some fumbling can be forgiven if you're producing, which is why while it was an issue last year, it wasn't a crippling issue. But if you're both fumbling AND not producing? That's a killer combo.
