Felix Has A Chance “Four” HistoryPosted by nickeatman at 9/26/2008 11:47 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com
Just how great of a start has Felix Jones had to his young career you ask? Well, with one more touchdown this week against the Commanders, the rookie from Arkansas will become just the fifth player since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 to score a touchdown in his first four games. Jones has scored one touchdown in each of the first three weeks, the first NFL rookie to do so since both Donte’ Stallworth and Andre Davis accomplished the feat in 2002. Stallworth went on to score a fourth straight touchdown, joining the likes of Washington’s Charlie Brown (1982) and Buffalo’s Joe Cribbs (1980). However, Felix Jones may not be the only rookie to get himself in that mix. New York Jets wide receiver Chancey Stuckey has also scored a touchdown in his first three games, and will attempting to make NFL history as well. So currently, just four players have scored a touchdown in their first four games. By Sunday, the number could be up to six. Personally, I’d like to see Jones take his next reception to the house for a touchdown. Then he could have the distinction of saying he scored on his first NFL carry, his second career reception and his third career kickoff return.
Currently, Jones has just one reception for three yards.
