It's plausible.

You realistically need at least 335 attempts to do it, and despite no one getting 335 attempts since 2012, Elliot would have had he started 16 games in 2016, and Bell wasn't too far off in 2017.

It's going to take a guy averaging 6 YPA on 335 caries, and no one with 200 caries or more averaged more than 5.01 YPA last year.

Like I said, it's plausible.

This. It takes a special running back to be able to handle that 335 plus carry workload & a head coach who is committed to running the football to make it happen but it's definitely plausible.

Not to mention defenses play more nickel & dime package sets than ever before which makes them more vulnerable against the power run game.
