Chris Swain
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Second year in the Navy backfield. One game to point at: 131 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD against South Florida — Week 9, 2015.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.7% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 5.7% of his carries. 6 carries for 27 yds vs Houston; 23 for 131 vs South Florida.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
The closer
28.7% of carries overall (208/724) → 23.4% of Q4-with-lead carries (40/171) — 82.5% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
