Cleveland Browns Rushing Attempts Leaders
Career totals with the Browns and the best single seasons in club history. Includes the 2026 season through November 2: these records are rebuilt every night, so a mark set yesterday is here this morning. The club's AAFC seasons (1946-1949) are not in these totals, as the NFL's record book does not count them; they are under the AAFC. Did not play 1996-1998; the Browns name and records stayed in Cleveland and resumed in 1999.
Jim Brown holds the Browns career record with 2,359 rushing attempts. The single-season record is 309, by Reuben Droughns in 2005.
