Last Sunday, the Purple Jesus did the following:
- Earned the Offensive Player of the Week Award, the first Viking's rookie to do so since Randy Moss
- Set a franchise record for rushing yards in a game and most 100 yard games by a rookie
- Rushed for the fifth most yards by a rookie in a game
- Set the NFL Rookie record for all purpose yards in a game with the third most all purpose yards ever
- Passed eight players for the NFL rushing lead
Over the course of five games, All Day has:
- Rushed for 80 more yards than any other back, in one less game, and with the fewest carries of any back in the top ten
- Averaged 6.3 yards per carry
- Accumulated the third highest DPAR and has the tenth best DVOA, the only rookie in the top fifteen of either category
- Racked up the second most rushing yards through five games by a rookie ever
- More yards from scrimmage than any other player besides Ronnie Brown
- Created a pace that, if he maintains it, will be the greatest season by a rookie running back ever, both in real football and in fantasy football
- Earned the respect of the greatest running back in Vikings' history
As I've said before, I'm not a good enough writer to describe what the Purple Jesus has done so far this year. The only thing I can do is echo the great Ed McDaniel, who once said "Get yo' stats...get paid...Don't. Get. Hurt."
