NFL stat of the day

Post by poptart »

What NFL running back (not QB) has the highest yds-per-carry average in NFL history?
































Answer: Jamaal Charles :shock:

5.8 yds per carry.

.1 higher than Hall of Famer Marion Motley.
.4 higher than Bo Jackson.

Michael Vick happens to be the all-time NFL leader in yds per carry, at 7.0.

Yw, slaps. :)

Interesting. Is there a minimum number of carries or yards to make that list?

Here's a related question, though nothing to do with football.

What MLB player has the highest career batting average (minimum 15 years and 50 at bats)?

I can't see that noted anywhere on the page.

Maybe it's there and I'm just blind from whackin' off too much, I dunno. :)


But here...

Below are the top 10 career rushing averages in NFL history, with at least 750 attempts:

1. Michael Vick, 7.02
2. Randall Cunningham, 6.36
3. Jamaal Charles, 5.79
4. Marion Motley, 5.70
5. Jim Brown, 5.22
6. Mercury Morris, 5.14
7. Adrian Peterson, 5.05
8. Joe Perry, 5.04
9. Gale Sayers, 5.00
10. Barry Sanders, 4.99

Your criteria throws me a little, Mikey.
Does someone beat T. Cobb's .366?

The criteria should have given away that it's one of those anomalous stats.
