Is Alex Green Better Than Willis McGahee? NFL Stats Decide

Willis McGahee's Rushing Yards of 8,474 compared to Alex Green's 510 represents a 1561.6% 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 Willis McGahee exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Willis McGahee's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Carry, where Alex Green posts 3.4 against Willis McGahee's 4.0 — a gap of just 17.6%. 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.

Willis McGahee wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 0. The 1561.6% gap in Rushing Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Willis McGahee's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
