Chris Carson progressed in three areas this season; only two of them for the better. The Seattle Seahawks lead running back is having his best season yet, or at least he would be if not for his foot injury and his coaching staff.
In the final year of Carson’s rookie deal, efficiency is up, fumbles are down, and most damning, the injury bug is back.
However, he’s not been allowed to showcase just how good he’s become.
Start with the obvious: Carson has one fumble on 87 rushing attempts in 2020. Almost anything would have been an improvement over 2019’s disaster, but it’s even better than his 82 attempts per fumble in 2018.
