In terms of total yards, Charles edges out Davis by 1, yards 10, to 8, One thing I want to go ahead and get out of the way before we continue is the number of games that each player played in. Charles played in 39 more games than Davis did, not including playoffs. A more accurate representation would be games started in which Davis started in eight more than Charles did Charles started out as a backup in Kansas City, sitting behind Larry Johnson as a rookie and not taking over until Johnson was cut six games into the season while Davis was the starter from the word go.
In the same vein as the total yards, we are looking at two different styles of players. Also, we have to take a look at the fact that Charles had fewer touches than Davis did. For the sake of simplicity Jamaal Charles will be listed first and Davis second with the bold number being the most.
From an overall stats standpoint, Jamaal Charles is no doubt better than Terrell Davis, but there is a caveat that Charles is going to face just like his predecessor Priest Holmes is now. Davis is without a doubt one of the best postseason performers of all-time and he carried the Broncos to two rings.
Without a doubt, based on the above metrics, but sadly the voters are going to feel different. When watching Charles play, fans knew they were watching one of the greatest players on the field. Outside of maybe Marshall Faulk and Barry Sanders , there has never been a more dynamic running back to ever play on the gridiron. More from Kansas City Chiefs. Want your voice heard?

When Charles suffered an ankle injury early in a game in Week 2 and had to miss a game in Week 3, Davis got a chance to shine and did not disappoint.
When Charles came back in Week 4, the team eased him back while Davis still got lots of touches. In a three-week span, Davis ran for yards and three touchdowns. But that was as good as it got for him, as he concluded his season with a per-carry average of 3. Going into his third year, the team expects a lot more from Davis, who has showcased his breakaway speed on kickoff returns and on a yard touchdown catch-and-run last season against Oakland.
Davis must step up when his number is called and help keep the offense rolling while filling in for Charles. How Reid plans to use Thomas in will be something to keep an eye on, as Thomas saw time as a running back and receiver on offense last year.
He carried the ball 14 times for yards, averaging 8. Thomas was active in the passing game, coming away with 23 grabs for yards. Chiefs fans were excited for Thomas when they learned about his breakaway speed. In his first preseason game, he ran 80 yards on a punt return and did it again in the regular season.
Like Davis, Thomas has excelled on special teams, but he needs to do more on offense to help the team move the chains and get closer to the end zone. Given his activity as a receiver, it is uncertain how much time he will split between serving as a rusher and receiver.
But fans can still expect him to have some sort of activity coming out of the backfield. In , he played in only one preseason game, but it was enough for then-coach Romeo Crennel to give him a spot, as he ran 15 times for 65 yards and a touchdown.
In , Gray played in all four preseason games, finishing with 23 carries for 95 yards as he ran for 72 yards in the preseason finale. Last year, he had a better preseason, going for yards off 30 carries and scoring a touchdown.
