JD had 186 rush attempts last year compared to Travis’ 82 rush attempts. Jordan Travis actually had more yards per rush attempt. 5.1 YPC to 4.8 YPC. So I think you analysis that Daniels is a much better runner is a little overplayed.

I suppose the fact that Travis averaged a yd and a half more per completion has him ranked so much higher? I was surprised to see Daniel’s completed 68% of his passes.

These go hand in hand. JD’s completion percentage was helped by not taking shots downfield. Travis was throwing the ball downfield more and still had a 24/5 TD/INT ratio which is pretty impressive.

Overall I think they pretty comparable, I’d probably give Travis the edge just by a little bit.
