Dwayne Allen or Greg Olsen? The NFL Stat Breakdown

The career statistics tell a clear story in this TE comparison. Greg Olsen holds the advantage in 6 of 6 key categories, with Receiving Yards representing the most decisive gap — a 455.2% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Greg Olsen's Receiving Yards of 8,683 compared to Dwayne Allen's 1,564 represents a 455.2% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Dwayne Allen falls 68.7% below the career average of 5000 in this category while Greg Olsen exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Greg Olsen's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Reception, where Dwayne Allen posts 11.3 against Greg Olsen's 11.7 — a gap of just 3.5%. Dwayne Allen can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 6-0 tally suggests. In any debate, Yards Per Reception is the statistical ammunition for the Dwayne Allen side.

The tight end position demands a rare combination of size, athleticism and football IQ. Career receiving production at tight end reflects the ability to dominate as a mismatch weapon, red zone threat and reliable safety valve.

Greg Olsen wins this head to head comparison decisively — 6 categories to 0. The 455.2% gap in Receiving Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Greg Olsen's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
