Career rushing stats:
Name Yards YPC TDs
Yeldon 3322 5.8 37
Ingram 3261 5.7 42
Richardson 3130 5.8 35
Lacy 2402 6.8 30
As as you can see the stats are incredibly similar except for Lacy's phenomenal YPC and Lacy had a third fewer carries. Except for 2012, Yeldon's OLine was not as good, nor the attitude and philosophy for the running game. OTOH, Yeldon had a better passing game. Who can forget his screen reception against LSU in 2012 or one of the most underrated plays in Bama lore when he willed his way to a first down on 3rd and 5 against UGA to keep the drive alive just before AJ hit Amari for the game winner. There were certainly many other plays and games.
There appears to be a good chance that he will prove his superior running skills in the NFL. Too bad he was drafted by the Jags. How good is their OLine ?
