NC State’s All-Time NFL Rushing Leaders Heading into 2022 Season

Published

on

As the 2022 NFL season approaches, here’s a look at where former NC State players rank in Career NFL Rushing Statistical Categories.

No disrespect to Russell Wilson, but the fact that he has the NFL rushing yards in school history, shows that the Wolfpack don’t have a history of putting out productive NFL Running Backs. If Nyheim Hines were to match his 276 rushing yards from last year, he would pass Christy and Gabriel, moving into 5th place by seasons end.

Career Rushing Yards

  1. QB Russell Wilson – 4,689
  2. RB Alex Webster – 4,638
  3. RB Ted Brown – 4,546
  4. RB Roland Hooks – 1,682
  5. QB Roman Gabriel – 1,304
  6. RB Dick Christy – 1,267
  7. RB Nyheim Hines – 1,169
  8. FB John Huzvar – 893
  9. RB Andre Brown – 876
  10. QB Jacoby Brissett – 653

Last year Hines had 2 rushing touchdowns. If he were to match that total in 2022, he would pass Christy, and tie Fritts and Brown for 7th place in school history.

Career Rushing Touchdowns 

1. RB Ted Brown – 40
2. RB Alex Webster – 39
3. QB Roman Gabriel – 30
4. QB Russell Wilson – 23
5. QB Jacoby Brissett – 13
6. RB Roland Hooks – 12
7. RB Andre Brown – 11
7. RB Stan Fritts – 11
9. RB Dick Christy – 9
9. RB Nyheim Hines – 9

Career Yards Per Carry

1. QB Russell Wilson – 5.5
2. RB Charley Young – 4.9
3. RB Roland Hooks – 4.2
4. RB Ted Brown – 4.1
4. RB Andre Brown – 4.1
4. RB Stan Fritts – 4.1
4. RB Nyheim Hines – 4.1
8. RB Alex Webster – 3.9
8. RB Dick Christy – 3.9
10. QB Jacoby Brissett – 3.7

If Hines were to match his 30 receptions from 2021, he would pass Webster by seasons end, taking sole possession of 2nd place in school history.

Receptions by Running Back 

  1. Ted Brown – 339
  2. Alex Webster – 240
  3. Nyheim Hines – 210
  4. Dick Christy – 132
  5. Roland Hooks – 96
  6. Jaylen Samuels – 85
  7. Charley Young – 40
  8. Andre Brown – 32
  9. Tremayne Stephens – 20
  10. Stan Fritts – 14

Former NC State Guard Terquavion Smith earned a spot on the 2023-24 NBA G-League All-Rookie Team.

Smith averaged 22.3 points, 3.4 assists and 3 rebounds per game for the Delaware Blue Coats. What’s crazy, is that he only started in 3 of the 36 games he played in. With that being said, he averaged 30.7 minutes per game. Smith shot 35.6% from three.

As a 2-way player, Smith also played 16 games for the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 3.3 points in 5.3 minutes per game. He shot 37.1% from three.

NC State LB Payton Wilson Visited with the Steelers Yesterday

By

Former NC State Linebacker Payton Wilson had a Top-30 visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday. Wilson is the first Linebacker the Steelers have brought in.

Wilson has already had Top-30 visits with the Dallas Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers.

PFF ranks Wilson as the #1 Linebacker in the 2024 Draft, and #26 on their Big Board.

1. LB PAYTON WILSON, NC STATE

PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 26

Wilson has the length, movement ability, IQ and tape of a first-round linebacker. What will likely keep him from being drafted on Day 1 is his injury history and age. If healthy, he can be a starting inside linebacker in any defense. (PFF)

Will someone take Wilson in the 1st round? Will he be a 2nd round pick? If he slips past that, that’s just stupid.

A post shared by DJ Horne (@djhorne)

Horne is trying to become the first Wolfpack player to be drafted since Dennis Smith Jr. was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 6th pick in the 1st Round.

While Horne might not currently be projected to be drafted, he is trying to change that tune at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament which begins tomorrow.

Horne is a special player, and genuinely possesses the skill set to compete at the next level. Whether he is drafted, or signs a 2-way contract, what he put on tape this year warrants a chance.
