Play style

Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.1% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 16.2% of his carries. 3 carries for 4 yds vs Buffalo; 40 for 270 vs Northern Illinois.
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
44.3% of carries overall (207/467) → 53.4% of Q4-with-lead carries (47/88) — 61.7% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
