Cat Scratch Reader on Jonathan Stewart
From the article
Stewart racked up 836 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie despite splitting time with Williams. In Stewart's second season, Williams missed a couple games due to injury, and that allowed both to top 1,100 rushing yards for the season. It remains the only time that's been done in the history of the NFL.
STACKED’s take
Stewart's dual-back role with Williams created NFL-historic 1,100-yard seasons for both.
Stewart was drafted 13th overall in 2006 despite the Panthers having just used a first-round pick on DeAngelo Williams two years prior, creating the 'Double Trouble' duo. As a rookie, Stewart racked up 836 yards and 10 touchdowns while splitting time with Williams. In his second season, when Williams missed games due to injury, both players topped 1,100 rushing yards—the only time this has occurred in NFL history. After Williams was released, Stewart finally got the backfield mostly to himself and was on pace for 1,000-yard seasons in two consecutive years before missing games to injury each season. He served as the veteran battering ram while Christian McCaffrey was drafted in 2017 and got up to speed with the NFL.
