Best Answer

Barry Sanders holds the NFL record for most runs over 50 yards (25 times) and most touchdown runs over 50 yards (15 times; next closest is Jim Brown with 12). Most websites also report runs of 20+ yards, however, this statistic was not regularly kept by the NFL until 2002, and Sanders retired in 1998.

What are ll purpose yards?

In the NFL the stat of all purpose yards usually refers to the yards obtained during a game, season, or career by a running back or a receiver. The yards referred to are both gained by receiving and rushing. Normally a running back will have the most all purpose yards, because receivers do not usually run the ball as often as runners catch the ball. Due to the formations in the NFL this can be achieved.
