        Just out of curiosity and not sarcasm but what would he have led the team in? I don’t recall him ever getting much playing time.

          Not Clinton, but a good try. Portis had a successful career after his rookie season. But he was darn good as a rook!!:thumb:

            I sometimes make up a quiz based on my own minor research. When that happens, sometimes more than one answer fit quite well. So, instead of saying "incorrect", I admit that they are good answers. Technically some are not perfect, but to my way of thinking, if a player played on one other team and not two, it really makes little difference. So, the bottom line is, I have another "flawed' quiz.

            Then again, this is in fun, and I reward those who make good guesses.

              Sorry Sam. Torrain did not have a good rookie season. But he was someone I was pulling for.

                Clue time:

                Following on the theme regarding players who had better rookie seasons....

                This player played 4 seasons with Denver and then another couple on another NFL team.

                He led The Broncos in a key category in his rookie season, but that was over 1/2 of his production for his entire 6 seasons. Who is he?

                Updated.....he also played for Seattle.

                  Could this category be in the negative?

                  For example Garrett Bolles led the team in holding penalties in 2018.

                  It can be considered key when you consider how it affect the team!

                    I would not call this a negative category. But I think I will add one more clue....

                    He played in the 80s.

                      Rick Parros!! He started all 16 games his rookie year and followed up with 17 more starts the following 5 years and his yardage is comparable to. I don’t know him and would never have guessed this as I was born 1980 but with intense research the past 10 minutes, I got it.

                              WINNER!

                              Though he led The Broncos in his rookie season, he only managed another 632 yards rushing for the rest of his career, Therefore he had over 54% of his rushing career in year one.

                                Here's one offered to me by a fellow member:

                                Which former Denver Broncos draft pick once referred to a Jim McMahon injury as just whiplash?
