On Saturday, former Georgia Bulldog and current Atlanta Falcon Thomas Brown had his first game action in the NFL. Even though it was just a preseason game and the stats do not count, he ended up with 19 rush yards on 4 attempts.
Georgia has had many successful running backs over the years, but here is a list of the most rush yards a former Georgia Bulldog has had in their rookie season since 1980. The number one guy might surprise you… then again so might the number five guy might surprise you even more…
1. Olandis Gary (1999) 1,159 rush yards
2. Terrell Davis (1995) 1,117
3. Robert Edwards (1998) 1,115
4. Tim Worley (1989) 770
5. Herschel Walker (1986) 737 ***
*** Herschel did have 1,812 rushing yards in his rookie season with the New Jersey Generals of the USFL in 1983.
