Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Tion Green
Wins in space out of the backfield. Third year in the Cincinnati backfield. One game to point at: 98 rushing yards and 9 receiving yards against South Florida — Week 5, 2016.
Play style
Deployed as a receiver as much as a runner. Value is in space, not between the tackles.
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 13.3% of his carries. 7 carries for 15 yds vs Houston; 12 for 98 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
43.0% of carries overall (156/363) → 38.8% of Q4-with-lead carries (19/49) — 84.2% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
