Alex Green or Alex Collins? The NFL Stat Breakdown

The career statistics tell a clear story in this RB comparison. Alex Collins holds the advantage in 5 of 5 key categories, with Rushing Yards representing the most decisive gap — a 291.6% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Alex Collins's Rushing Yards of 1,997 compared to Alex Green's 510 represents a 291.6% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Alex Green falls 90.7% below the career average of 5500 in this category while Alex Collins exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Alex Collins's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Carry, where Alex Green posts 3.4 against Alex Collins's 4.1 — a gap of just 20.6%. Alex Green can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 5-0 tally suggests. In any debate, Yards Per Carry is the statistical ammunition for the Alex Green 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.

Alex Collins wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 0. The 291.6% gap in Rushing Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Alex Collins's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
