Mel Farr would get out of the gates quickly as the star from UCLA who was chosen 7^th Overall by the Detroit Lions would be named to the Pro Bowl and was the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.  He finished 5^th in Rushing Yards, but that would be the only time he was in the top ten in that.  He wasn’t done producing as he would have two more 900 Yards from Scrimmage seasons, the second of which coming in 1970 where he was named to his second Pro Bowl.  Farr played seven seasons, all with Detroit and he would accumulate 4,446 Yards from Scrimmage with 36 Touchdowns.
