According to that link, he gets a less percentage of runs "stuffed" than Ajayi, Martin, Freeman, McCoy, West, Gordon, Hyde, Ivory, Gurley, Blount, Anderson, Murray, West, Forte, Steward, Hill, Lacy, Elliott, Miller, and Ware.

READ. I'm not talking overall, anywhere in the field. But SHORT yardage. I.e. 2nd and goal from the 4. He gets stood up a lot.
