Officially, a player needs 6.25 carries per team game to qualify for the league leaders in yards per carry. Michael Vick is the official career leader; he averaged 8.4 YPC in his final season in Atlanta. But if you want to measure yards per carry among running backs — and not just change of pace backs, but players like Johnson who are their team’s primary guy — then he’s chasing the immortal Jim Brown. Among players with at least 200 carries in a season, Brown’s 6.40 YPC average in 1963 is the greatest in NFL history. Every Coach’s Dream is averaging 6.42 YPC so far this season, which at least gives him a chance to break the record. Johnson’s YPC average through nine games is the third highest by any player (with 100 carries) since 1960: only Jim Brown (’63) and Mercury Morris (’73) were better.
