Happy Birthday Buster Rhymes

Happy B-Day to George 'Buster' Rhymes! The Miami Northwestern Grad , Sooner Standout & inspiration behind Busta Rhymes Nickname. Buster had the best game of his short career in just the 3rd game he played. In a 1985 Monday Night Matchup in the Metrodome against NFC North Foe Chicago, Buster returned 6 Bear kickoffs for 182 yards, and hauled in 3 passes for 89 yards. His 1,345 kick return yards his rookie year set a Vikings single season record that wouldn’t be topped until 2013.

Who can name the Viking Rookie Return man who topped George’s record setting season? For a Bonus point. Who held the Vikings record before Buster with 1, 184 return yards? Hint: His brother was playing for the Bears that Monday night.
