Rookie running backs since the Huddle started

[Cyberjag]

We all know how awful CMC is (thanks Electro!), but just for shtis and giggles, I decided to compare him to our last three rookie running backs.  Granted, he was taken higher in the draft, but these are our four guys who have gotten significant playing time in their rookie season.

I've extrapolated CMC's numbers to what the full season may look like based on his production to date.  And it should be noted that his return yards are mainly punts while DeAngelo's and Stew's are KO returns, which are typically higher, but since that makes CMC look worse by comparison I left it as-is.  Couldn't find any first down data, so if anyone can and wants to add it that would be great.

                             Rushing                 Receiving
                    Rush   Yards   Avg   TDs   Rec.   Yards   Avg   Catch %  TDs   Fum   Ret Yds   Tot Yds
Deshaun Foster       113    429    3.8     0    26     207    8.0    74.3%    2     3       0         636
DeAngelo Williams    121    501    4.1     1    33     313    9.5    91.7%    1     1   623 (19.5)  1,437
Jonathan Stewart     184    836    4.5    10     8      47    5.9    47.1%    0     2   349 (23.3)  1,232
Christian McCaffrey  111    390    3.5     3    86     681    7.9    70.2%    4     3   320  (8.7)  1,391

Commence to pile-on...

Doesn't work for you?  I chose code because it was the only way I could figure out how to force it into a courier-style font.  Huddle has no table option...

It's worth noting that the first three ran behind better OLs

i dont think the huddle was around in 2002.

Not sure about your calculations. You think CMC is only going to get 62 more rush yards and 108 receiving yards in 5 games? He's averaging 24.4 RushYPG and 42.5 RecYPG...

Let me re-check and edit if necessary

I included Foster because the Huddle was here for most of his career.  Also, he started out here in rotation, just like the other three.  So it made a twisted sense to me to add him into the mix.

I get 390 rushing yds with 3 tds, 680 receiving yds with 4 tds.

I think I updated to similar numbers while you were posting.

No, he started here on IR.

If that acting thing doesn't work out, you should go into law. 

There are interesting parallels in his first real season in the NFL with CMC's.  I was waiting on you to point out that he was drafted in the 2nd rather than seemingly objecting to his inclusion in the first place.

it didn't. now i work in a rehab hospital for people suffering from stroke, dementia, and other things you typical see in the Appalachian high risk health corridor.

There are no interesting parallels because Foster never played. 

But Foster was a much more impressive specimen coming out of UCLA, and only dropped because he was getting paid in Escalades while he was there.

Also worth noting the change from a running back driven league to a passing driven league.  Even in Stewart's rookie year the star running back was still highly valued.
