Dallon Jordan Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Dallon Jordan posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, Jordan has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 18.6 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 20.57 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 90.57 rushing yards.
