DESPITE BEING SOMEWHAT “slowed” by a bum hip, former Washington State running back Jerome “The Ghost” Harrison put in his third consecutive three-figure rushing performance on Sunday. Harrison ran for 127 yards, caught two passes for another 20 and scored a touchdown in Cleveland’s win against Jacksonville.

A Heisman trophy finalist at Wazzu, Harrison ran for 561 yards and five touchdowns in the Browns’ final three games, breaking Cleveland records for single game rushing yards (286, week 15) and rushing attempts (39, week 16) in the process.

You can see highlights of the Ghost’s final performance of the season here.(You may need to click directly on the third video listed, "Week 17: Jerome Harrison highlights.)
