Maurice Jones-Drew had 113 receiving yards vs the Vikings in 2008. 

Here are franchise leaders for the top 5 most receiving yards by a RB in a single-game:

1. Jones-Drew - 113
2. Jones-Drew - 96
3. F. Taylor  - 95
4. Jones-Drew - 91
5. Jones-Drew - 87

Fred Taylor, Chris Ivory, and Maurice Jones-Drew hold the franchise record for receptions by a RB in a single-game, with 9 receptions.

Assuming here that these were the years when we were actually able to execute a screen play for decent YAC. Maurice was very good at this (ETN should be great at this).  Not so much now, tho we now seem to excel at giving up big yards to RB screens.

Agreed. I remember in the mid-90’s the Jaguars had the best “screen game” in the NFL with James Stewart -whadda woderful widerful day *Berman

I hope they lean on Etienne even more this season. Dude is a game breaker.

Random stat of the day: Etienne is already tied for 3rd in franchise history for most 2 point conversions.
