Adam Shaheen or Jordan Akins? The NFL Stat Breakdown

The career statistics tell a clear story in this TE comparison. Jordan Akins holds the advantage in 6 of 6 key categories, with Receiving Yards representing the most decisive gap — a 347.3% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Jordan Akins's Receiving Yards of 2,277 compared to Adam Shaheen's 509 represents a 347.3% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Adam Shaheen falls 89.8% below the career average of 5000 in this category while Jordan Akins exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Jordan Akins's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Reception, where Adam Shaheen posts 10.2 against Jordan Akins's 11.1 — a gap of just 8.8%. Adam Shaheen can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 6-0 tally suggests. In any debate, Yards Per Reception is the statistical ammunition for the Adam Shaheen side.

The tight end position demands a rare combination of size, athleticism and football IQ. Career receiving production at tight end reflects the ability to dominate as a mismatch weapon, red zone threat and reliable safety valve.

Jordan Akins wins this head to head comparison decisively — 6 categories to 0. The 347.3% gap in Receiving Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Jordan Akins's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
