Nyheim Hines is Only 5 Receptions Away From Colts Rookie Record

Former NC State running back Nyheim Hines is within reach of the Colts’ Rookie Receptions record with one game left versus the Titans on Sunday night.

Hines has 60 receptions for 400 yards and 2 touchdowns on the year (Also 310 yards rushing, with 2 touchdowns). His 60 receptions are tied for the 4th most receptions by a rookie in Colts history.

If he were to simply keep up his season average of 4 receptions per game, he would finish tied with Marvin Harrison for the 2nd most receptions by a Colts rookie.

Hines only needs 3 receptions to break Edgerrin James’ rookie record for receptions by a Colts running back.

There haven’t been many rookie running backs in NFL history that have done what Hines has done in 2018. His 60 receptions are the 12th most in NFL history by a rookie running back, and he will likely finish in the Top-10.
