Chicago Rush News Release
Chicago Rush FB/LB Bob McMillen is just five yards shy of breaking the Arena Football League's all-time rushing record currently held by former Tampa Bay Storm star Les Barley. McMillen will get his opportunity to break the record at noon this Sunday, February 26, as the Rush hosts the San Jose SaberCats at Allstate Arena.

He has won two ArenaBowl championships (1997 with Arizona and 2002 with San Jose) and is the only player in AFL history to rush for 100 or more yards in seven-consecutive seasons.
