		<description><![CDATA[A first-year bust
Beattie Feathers was the NFL&#8217;s first 1,000 yard rusher. In 1934, he averaged 8.4 yards per carry. 1934 was his rookie year and he played through 1940. However, a string of injuries limited the Tenessee All-American to a total of 976 yards after his rookie year.
