Last week, Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler made a public trade request. On Monday, he clarified his stance. “I think it’s really important to put it out there that it’s not like, ‘Oh, I hate the Chargers and I need to get out of this organization, and I need to leave.” The 27-year-old elaborated further. “I’m so underpaid right now as far as my contract and what I contribute to the team…I want to get something long term done. I want a team that wants me long term. I’m getting half my value of what I could be getting.” One rumor has Washington interested in a possible trade, but a weapon as dynamic as Ekeler will likely have multiple suitors, assuming the Bolts have a reasonable asking price. Stay tuned.
Which brings us to today’s quiz of the day. Ekeler had a whopping 107 catches in 2022, the second-most for a running back all time. So with that in mind, how many of the NFL running backs with the most receptions in a season can you name in five minutes?
Good luck!
