At the Risk of Blasphemy, This 2022 Rookie Looks a Lot Like Jamaal Charles

Seamus Carr
March 10, 2023

As a card-carrying member of the Jamaal Charles Super-Fan Club, it seems almost blasphemous to mention a 2022 rookie RB as a possible comparison to the former Chiefs great. Charles lived in the second level, seemingly never touched before gaining 5 yards. Once he got out in the open, it was usually a house call as few could keep up with his 4.38 speed. However, as we’ll get to, even Charles was not always a surefire superstar. He too started slowly with only flashes of greatness.

While reviewing some of the rookie RB seasons from 2022, I didn’t intend to find any comparisons to Charles. While I had to modify the regular search criteria in the RotoViz Screener to find the comp, all I did was change the start year to an earlier date. Once Charles was included in the data set, his rookie season matched up quite nicely.

Seamus Carr March 21, 2023
