Walter Payton's Rushing Yards of 16,726 compared to Alex Green's 510 represents a 3179.6% 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 Walter Payton exceeds it.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Carry, where Alex Green posts 3.4 against Walter Payton's 4.4 — a gap of just 29.4%.

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.

Walter Payton wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 0. The 3179.6% gap in Rushing Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Walter Payton's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
