Clinton Portis starred at the University of Miami. He became just the second true freshman to start at running back since the 1975 season. Portis set a school freshman record with five 100-yard performances, and led the team with 838 yards and eight touchdowns on 143 carries. Portis was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2002 NFL Draft. As a Redskin in 2008, Portis fell just short of what would have been his fourth 1,500 yard rushing season in seven years, finishing with 1487 yards and an average of 4.3 yards per carry. His season was highlighted by a five week stretch in which Portis gained nearly 700 yards, ending in an October 26 victory over the Detroit Lions. During this span Clinton Portis joined O.J. Simpson as the only players in NFL history to rush for at least 120 yards in five consecutive games twice in a career (Portis first did it over two seasons with four games with Denver in 2003 and one game with Washington in 2004). To date, this future Hall of Famer has compiled 9540 rushing yards with a total of 78 total TD’s.
