The former Wisconsin running back surpassed 4,000 yards on his career, for one. He did so in just 47 career games for Indianapolis.

And though it was less yardage than the previous run, this one may have been more impressive. He simply refused to go down, picking up nearly 10 extra yards from first contact.
