Consistency of the Yards

Here I have attempted to create a better break down of the yardage gained by RBs other than average yard per carry

Heres a graph [i couln't get it to show up,if you know how please tell me!!]

Consistency:

Running for 2 yards

  • HILLIS:  100% cosistency
  • BELL:     64% cosistency

Running for 3 yards

  • HILLIS:  75% cosistency
  • BELL:     36% cosistency

 

Running for 4-5 yards

  • HILLIS:  63% cosistency
  • BELL:     27% cosistency

 

Running for 6-11 yards

  • HILLIS:  50% cosistency
  • BELL:     18% cosistency

 

Running for 12+  yards

  • HILLIS:  25% cosistency
  • BELL:     9% cosistency

*not shown Bell running for 1 yard 73% Consistency and 0 yards 100% Cosistency

 

Once i get the images to show up i can post another graph of the runner's consistency.  Also to note is the limited data sample of the players-

As you can see Hillis's consistency is notably higher and has a much slower drop off rate, almost the opposite of Bell's.  Hillis can be relied upon with good consistency to gain 3 yards while on the same token Bell can only be relied upon with good consistency to gain 1 yard.
