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.

Maybe, but id also argue being able to be the workhorse is worth something over someone who gets 12 a game for more yards per carry.

Either way all of those guys are studs for the most part.
