Devin Chafin
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Second year in the Baylor backfield. A game that shows it: 156 rushing yards and 3 passing yards against North Carolina — Bowl, 2015.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 5.8% of his carries. 1 carry for 1 yds vs West Virginia; 27 for 156 vs North Carolina.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
