Redskins by the (Jersey) Numbers: #46 - Alfred Morris

Related Topics: Ladell Betts

Number 46 on our list presents some legitimate competition.

Ladell Betts, who ran for over 1,000 yards in 2006, actually has a higher “Approximate Value” than Alfred Morris, according to Pro Football Reference. But there’s no question in my mind that Morris has the stronger Redskins resume, even in his relatively short time in D.C.

Outside of his sterling effort filling in for an injured Clinton Portis in 2006, Betts was a very good back-up. That was his role. Excluding the 1,154 yards he gained in ‘06, his best seasonal rushing total was 371 yards.
