San Francisco 49ers have the fastest of the bunch
The San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert suffered a serious ankle injury which put him out for almost half of the 2020 season, but that didn’t stop him from being the single fastest ball carrier over the course of the season.
According to NFL Next Gen Stats, the running back was the single fastest ball carrier in the NFL by clocking a top speed of 23.09 mph on a run to the endzone against the New York Jets.
