QB running numbers have been on a ever increasing trend in college football in past 4-5 years. And I believe that trend will eventually migrate into NFL. Colin and Vick may have been precursors but most young QBs drafted and to be drafted will sleep more in throw and run type QBs. It's a trend that'll stay for the coming decade at least is my guess. Whether it's sustainable in a physically demanding NFL and whether teams will run schemes that expose their QBs to higher chance of injuries is anyone's call. Looks at QB rushing yards this season. 1. Lamar2. Kyler3. Josh Allen4. Deshaun5. Gardner6. R. Wilson7. Daniel JonesWilson apart...you see the trend, right? Lamar is a extreme outlier, but that "gimmick" will be a big part of future NFL. And not trailing in any game all season is a outstanding achievement.</blockquote>
