J.K. Dobbins' yards per carry averaged drop a bit last year, falling from 7.2 his freshman season to 4.6 in 2018.
But that production dip alone doesn't tell the whole story.
According to Pro Football Focus, 620 of Dobbins' 1,053 rushing yards – almost 60 percent of his production – came after contact.

Whether it was product of the offensive scheme, offensive line play, a pocket passer at quarterback, opposing defenses loading the box, or a combination of all of those factors, Dobbins had to bully his way to over half of his yardage last season, and still managed to hit the 1,000-yard mark.
