Chase Brown among the top NFL running backs in one key metric

Brown had a great second season with the Bengals. Expectations are high entering year three.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown became one of the focal points of the offense in 2024.

Finishing 10 yards shy of 1,000 rushing yards, which he would have gotten had he not missed the Bengals Week 18 game at Pittsburgh with an ankle injury, Brown also rushed for seven touchdowns on the season while catching 54 passes for 360 yards and four scores

In a season filled with frustration, Brown became a bright spot on an electric Bengals offense. Not only that, but his presence makes this offense even more versatile.

Of running backs with 175 carries this season, Brown finished No. 11 with a 52.4 rushing success rate.

When looking at the running backs ahead of Brown, including Saquon Barkley just one spot higher on this list, it further solidifies the fact that the Bengals have a lot to be excited about with Brown.

After Joe Mixon was traded to the Houston Texans last March, the Bengals are still fine at running back. That’s especially true after Brown’s breakout second season, and his versatility makes this Bengals offense even more electrifying and hard to defend.
