Well, he also only started in 16 totals games the following two years and missed three games last year. He would have cracked 1500yds easy last year. 102.2ypg is not that far behind his 2021 pace of 106.5.
I'm not trying to oversell JT... but the dude is currently #5 all-time in yards per game (behind Brown, Sanders, Davis, and Dickerson). Not saying he'll stay there, but that's where we're at now.

Derrick Henry's career YPC is 4.9 and JT's career YPC is 4.9. Prior to last season, Saquon Barkley had seasons had a three year run of 3.7ypc, 4.4ypc, and 3.9ypc.
