On Saturday, I wrote about Gray Ink for rushing yards, and showed the career leaders using the methodology described in that post. Today, we do the same but for Yards from Scrimmage.
One interesting player is LeSean McCoy, who continues to look like a Hall of Famer. He ranked 15th in Rushing Yardage Gray Ink, which puts him comfortably in the group of Hall of Fame rushers. This is due to a number of strong seasons: he led the NFL in rushing in 2013, ranked 3rd in 2014, 4th in 2011 and 2017, and 6th in 2016. He also has a good chance (he needs 1700 more rushing yards with the Bills) of becoming just the third player with 5,000 rushing yards with two different teams.
Well, McCoy also ranks 15th in Yards from Scrimmage Gray Ink. He led the NFL in YFS in 2013, and ranked 4th in 2010 and 2017 and 5th in 2011 and 2016. He leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage since entering the league, too.
The table below shows the top 100 players in Gray Ink in terms of Yards From Scrimmage:

It should be no surprise to see Walter Payton, who is also the career leader in over the worst starter baseline. As you can see from the table below, Payton had 11 seasons where he ranked in the top 10 in yards from scrimmage (actually, the table only shows each player’s top 10 seasons! Payton and Don Hutson are the only player with 11 such years). Payton led the NFL in YFS in ’77 and ’78, had a runner-up performance in 1979, had four seasons where he ranked 3rd in YFS, and also a 4th, 5th, and two 9th-place performances. When it comes to yardage, nobody had as many big years as Payton:
