A.J. Green or Alan Ball? The NFL Stat Breakdown

The career statistics tell a clear story in this CB comparison. Alan Ball holds the advantage in 4 of 5 key categories, with Tackles representing the most decisive gap — a 470.7% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Alan Ball's Tackles of 234 compared to A.J. Green's 41 represents a 470.7% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Alan Ball's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Sacks, where A.J. Green posts 0 against Alan Ball's 0.5 — a gap of just 100%. A.J. Green can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 4-1 tally suggests. In any debate, Sacks is the statistical ammunition for the A.J. Green side.

Defensive impact in the NFL is notoriously difficult to quantify. Sacks and tackles capture individual production, but disruption, coverage grades and run-stopping ability paint the complete picture of defensive excellence.

Alan Ball wins this head to head comparison decisively — 4 categories to 1. The 470.7% gap in Tackles alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Alan Ball's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
