RB Index, Week 7: Chris Carson headlines NFL's hardest runners
By Maurice Jones-Drew NFL.com Analyst
Seattle hasn't lacked hard-nosed runners this decade. Does a player by the name of Marshawn Lynch ring a bell? Maybe this will help. Like Beast Mode, the 5-foot-11, 222-pound Carson is in a system that perfectly fits his bruising, downhill running style.
Carson explodes through the A and B gaps at the line of scrimmage and is consistently able to plow through the teeth of the defense thanks to his dynamic leg drive. He regularly breaks tackles, having gained at least 100 rushing yards after contact in each of the last three weeks, according to Pro Football Focus.
That's a feat the rest of the running backs in the NFL have combined to accomplish just three times this season.
