What about YPC?

Career YPC:

Bo Jackson - 6.6
Leonard Fournette - 6.1
Darren McFadden - 5.8
Emmitt Smith - 5.6
Herschel Walker - 5.3


When taking into account the numbers realize that Bo Jackson was in a Wishbone Offense and shared the backfield and carries with as many as FOUR other NFL RBs on the roster at the same time

I can't tell if you are acknowledging how such an offense helped bo, or if you are saying it hurt bo.

Guys, Forget stats for a moment, and just look at the talent and performances. Hershal and Bo are the best in SEC history. Fournette is probably third. An argument could be made for Emmett Smith or McFadden. Henry is not even in the conversation for top 10 in the modern era.
