Jay Ajayi vs Brandon Bennett Career Stats Comparison

This is as close as it gets. Jay Ajayi and Brandon Bennett split the statistical categories evenly — 3 apiece — making this one of the most genuinely contested RB comparisons in NFL history. When the numbers are this balanced, the debate comes down to which statistics matter most to you.

Jay Ajayi's Rushing Yards of 2,546 compared to Brandon Bennett's 1,144 represents a 122.6% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Brandon Bennett falls 79.2% below the career average of 5500 in this category while Jay Ajayi exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Jay Ajayi's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Carry, where Jay Ajayi posts 4.5 against Brandon Bennett's 3.7 — a gap of just 21.6%. Brandon Bennett can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 3-3 tally suggests. In any debate, Yards Per Carry is the statistical ammunition for the Brandon Bennett 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.

With categories split evenly, this comparison ultimately comes down to which statistics matter most to you. Jay Ajayi claims the tiebreaker through Rushing Yards advantage — a 122.6% edge — but reasonable people can, and do, argue both sides of this NFL debate.
