Was Paul Kruger that third round pick?

 

And the all time rusher is someone who didn't get brought back the next year, just recently, right? Had a ton of yards over the last four games?

 

EDIT: Right, Jerome Harrison!!

 

286 yards against the Chiefs in 2009. 3rd best single game rushing yards behind AP and J Lewis

Hint: Kinda a trick question...
