Maybe I'm missing something. What is this stat supposed to tell me?

Yeah I think your stats are missing something to make the comparison relevant.

His ability to gain yards after contact. It's a viable measurement of a RB's value and yes that stat is sick.

AD is the best rb in the NFL, it's a shame he's stuck on the Vikings.

That the one time that he wasn't tackled for a loss, he ran it 99 yards giving him a net positive of 51 yards. :laugh2:

btw, the second stat that says -1,206, doesn't tell you how many attempts that is. I'm going to guess many of those are sacks.

Sacks aren't counted as rush plays in the NFL.

With these new rookie QBs, they should be. :laugh2:
