Brown set the record for Bengals running backs with 69 catches in 2025. He had 54 the year before last, so an average of 62 over the last two years would give him 199 catches in his career. That would move him past franchise all-time leading rusher Corey Dillon’s 192 and into fourth place for most career catches by a Bengals back. Giovani Bernard leads with 342, followed by James Brooks (297) and Joe Mixon (283).
Brown needs just four more touchdown catches to jet by Essex Johnson, Bernard and Mixon into second place behind Brooks’ 27 touchdown catches that lead all Bengals backs.
With 23 overall touchdowns, Brown needs four more rushing or receiving to tie Ickey Woods and Boobie Clark for 10th place on the career touchdown list for running backs. With 70, running back Pete Johnson holds the franchise record for everyone.
With a career-high 1,456 yards, Brown had the 12th most scrimmage yards ever by a Bengals back this past season. A 1,592-yard season would vault him from 15th on the Bengals’ all-time career list of backs to seventh, moving him past Cedric Benson into seventh place with 4,733 career scrimmage yards for Bengals backs.
He also had a career-high 301 touches. If Brown matches that in 2026, he’ll move past franchise stalwarts such as Paul Robinson, Essex Johnson, Archie Griffin and Charles Alexander into the top nine with 943 career touches by a back. Dillon’s club record of 2,057 from a distant time is just as distant.
