Jacksonville Jaguars’ rookie James Robinson goes over 1,000-yard mark

Not much has gone right for the Jacksonville Jaguars since the first week of the season and a victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

The scouts deserve credit, though, for finding a gem in undrafted, free-agent running back James Robinson.

Robinson had a 47-yard run in the loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

In the process of the game, he went over the 1,000-yard mark. That made him the fourth undrafted rookie to rush for 1,000 yards.

He also is the fastest to reach four figures, doing it in 13 games.

Most rushing yards in the common era by an undrafted rookie: 1. Dominic Rhodes: 1,104 2. Phillip Lindsay: 1,037 3. LeGarrette Blount: 1,007.
