Alan Ricard or Edgar Bennett? The NFL Stat Breakdown

The career statistics tell a clear story in this RB comparison. Edgar Bennett holds the advantage in 5 of 6 key categories, with Rushing Yards representing the most decisive gap — a 2207.5% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Edgar Bennett's Rushing Yards of 3,992 compared to Alan Ricard's 173 represents a 2207.5% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Alan Ricard falls 96.9% below the career average of 5500 in this category while Edgar Bennett exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Edgar Bennett's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Carry, where Alan Ricard posts 4.0 against Edgar Bennett's 3.6 — a gap of just 11.1%. Alan Ricard can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 5-1 tally suggests. In any debate, Yards Per Carry is the statistical ammunition for the Alan Ricard side.

Running back careers are defined by efficiency as much as volume. Yards per carry separates elite backs from good ones, while receiving ability from the backfield has become increasingly valuable in the modern NFL.

Edgar Bennett wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 1. The 2207.5% gap in Rushing Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Edgar Bennett's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
