I was skimming through pro football reference yesterday, and was looking at Kamara and CMC’s career stats. They have essentially had the exact same production in their careers.
| Player | Carries | Rush Yards | Receptions | Receiving Yards | Touches | Scrimmage Yards | TDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alvin Kamara | 1,204 | 5,396 | 465 | 3,930 | 1,669 | 9,326 | 72 |
| Christian McCaffrey | 1,150 | 5,324 | 468 | 3,984 | 1,618 | 9,308 | 71 |
| Difference | 54 | 72 | 3 | 54 | 51 | 18 | 1 |
Both were drafted in 2017. Kamara has played in a few more games, but they have still had almost the same amount of carries and receptions. McCaffrey gets slightly more work on a per game basis, but maybe that’s contributed to him missing more time due to injury as well.
Overall though, it’s kinda crazy that after 6.5 seasons, two elite RBs from the same draft class are only separated by 18 scrimmage yards and 1 touchdown.

Kamara has one more knock out.
Alvin has slowed down a little but for the most part they are both still going strong
