Here’s today’s trivia question. Which Indianapolis Colts quarterback has the most rushing yards in franchise history? Hint: he predates the move to Indianapolis.
Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas ran for almost 1,800 yards during his career as a Baltimore Colts quarterback. That’s good for 20th on the all-time franchise rushing list. As you might expect, he trails 19 running backs.
Unitas was not known as a runner. He was one of the best downfield throwers of the 1960s. He leads all Colts’ QBs because of longevity. It took him 206 games to get all those yards. His rushing average was a mundane 3.
