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

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.
