Some NFL Trivia
1) In 2001 Jet's RB Curtis Martin became the third player in NFL history to run for 1,000 yards in each of his first 7 seasons. Who were the first two?
2) Who were the only 2 NFL players to win league rushing titles in each of their first 3 seasons? 3) Phil Simms is the all-time leading passer for the Giants with 33,462 yards. Name the four other quarterbacks in franchise history to throw for at least 9,000 yards (for the Giants).

#1 would have been Tony Dorsett, if not for the 1982 strike.
actually, if not for that interruption, he would have had an amazing 9 straight.

What is the new football-reference URL please. And its not cheating, its research.
I would gues the only ones to lead the league first three years are Jim Brown and Dickerson, with Earl Campbell being my third guess. I would have to guess Otto (not to be confused with Kent) Graham as the 4th Giant.

Jim Brown and Earl Campbell are correct for #2. nice work!
We just need that final Giants QB. It is not Graham, Kent or otherwise.
