Summary
- Jeremy Hill and Chris Perry had their fair share of fumbling woes, leading to fan frustration.
- Carson Wentz holds a dubious record for fumbles as an Eagle.
- Gunner O was a fumbling machine for the Steelers.
- Several other players, including Amari Rodgers and Tiki Barber, are remembered for their ball-handling struggles.
Around the League
Carson Wentz may have had his high points, but his fumbling habit left Eagles fans holding their breath every game. With a record-setting fumble rate, Wentz’s butterfingers became a major talking point, overshadowing his other successes.
Fumble Kings
Gunner O’s fumbling stats read like a horror story for Steelers fans. With a 20% fumble rate across various plays, he quickly earned a reputation as a liability on the field. His toe tap kick return remains a memorable moment, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
Remembering the Blunders
Players like Kyle Williams and Tiki Barber will forever be linked to their costly fumbles that dashed their team’s hopes. While Williams faced the brunt of the blame for a Super Bowl dream shattered by fumbles, Barber’s early career struggles with ball security haunted him until Tom Coughlin’s arrival.
