Mercury Morris had a brother in the NFL? Who and whom did he play for. Mercury only gained 1000 yards one time. That was exactly 1000 in 1972 when he and Larry Csonka became the first teammates to ever do it in the same season. A feat later matched by Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier.Bcburns;1187118 said:I'm pretty sure the Morris brothers did it.

Where they differ is as receivers.
Thomas has 27 receptions for 107 yards, 4.0 avg. no TDs.
Julius has 6 receptions for 111 yards, 18.5 avg., no TDs.
No comparison at all between their primary backups.
Benson, 79 carries, 266 yards, 3.4 avg., 3 TDs, 5 receptions, 24 yards, 4.8 avg. No TDs, no fumbles. From a high 1st round draft pick.
Barber, 97 carries, 492 yards, 5.1 avg., 9 TDs, 14 receptions, 146 yards, 10.4 avg., 2 TDs, no fumbles. from a 4th round draft pick.

I don't remember Joe having a brother in the NFL either.jcblanco22;1187268 said:Regarding the Morris brothers, I believe the reference is to Joe Morris of the Giants and a brother he may have had. I seem to vaguely remember something like this, or equally likely, I'm just hallucinating.
Mike and Greg Pruitt were a good brother RB tandem for the Raiders and Browns in the late 70s/early 80s also but I don't know that either actually cracked the 1,000 yard barrier.
