Player performance

Pollard earned the second-best rushing grade among running backs over 2021 and 2022, despite being Ezekiel Elliott‘s backup. His 5.3 yards per carry and 3.7 yards after contact per carry both ranked second among running backs with at least 200 carries, behind only Nick Chubb. He was also top 10 in avoided tackles per attempt and first-down rate.
