Marcus ran 3,022 times for 12,243 yards and 123 TDs. He averaged 4.1 yards per carry.
To date, Jamaal has run 1,030 times for 5,717 yards and 28 TDs. He's averaging 5.6 yards per carry.
So to catch Marcus statistically, Jamaal needs to run the ball 1,997 times for 6526 yards, which would average 3.27 yards per carry. It would appear that longevity is his sole remaining barrier.
Marcus also had 587 receptions for 5,411 yards and 21 TDs (9.2 yards per reception), whereas Jamaal is currently at 217 receptions for 1,937 yards and 14 TDs (8.9 yards per reception). So Jamaal needs another 370 receptions for 3,474 yards, averaging 9.39 yards per reception.
Both are clearly top runners. Marcus had success for a long time, but Jamaal is much more productive with the ball in his hands than (and I love saying this) any other player in the history of the National Football League.
