Tiki Barber Tribute Trivia Question

[dasher]

Everyone knows about the 40/40 club in baseball. Well, dasher has dedicated his Tiki trivia question to the football 40/40 club, namely those Giants since 1960 who have rushed 40 times and caught 40 balls during  the same REGULAR season. Tiki did it 9 times by himself. All the 7 others combined have done it a total of 10 times. Name these 7 Giants.

Tiki in fact did 50/50 8 times in his career. Only 1 other Giant since 1960 has accomplished this feat. Name him.

It's a good thing Brandon Jacobs has big feet- he has quite a pair of shoes to fill.

Dasher - another good question!

The 40/40 club consists of, in addition to Tiki Barber:  Alex Webster, Joe Morrison, Ron Johnson, Tucker Frederickson, Joe Dawkins and Rodney Hampton ... there was one other?

You've got me on the other 50/50 member ...

Peace!

Hi Kart,

Excellent answers, especially Joe Dawkins. I thought he'd be the most difficult. And now- egg on my face. Although I was looking for Dave Meggett and his 50 receptions in 1991, I now plainly see he only rushed 29 times that season making him ineligible for the illustrious dasher 40/40 club!
Here are my unaudited returns for receptions by running back by year for eligible 40/40 club members.

1962- Big Red 47
1964- Joe Morrison 40
1966- Joe Morrison 46
1969- Joe Morrison 44
1970- Tucker Fredrickson 40
1970- Ron Johnson 48
1973- Ron Johnson 48
1974- Joe Dawkins 46
1991- Rodney Hampton 43
1998- Tiki 42
1999- Tiki 66
2000- Tiki 70
2001- Tiki 72
2002- Tiki 69
2003- Tiki 69
2004- Tiki 52
2005- Tiki 54
2006- Tiki 58
