Probably true for CMC this year, but that is assuming he stays healthy, which is anything but a guarantee with him.

Also more a statement about this year than it is about CMC.

CMC in 2023 has 85.4 yards per game...

2008 Adrian Peterson (age 23 season) 110.0 ypg
2009 Chris Johnson (age 24 season) 125.4 ypg
2010 Arian Foster (age 24 season) 101.0 ypg
2011 Maurice Jones-Drew (age 26 season) 100.4 ypg
2012 Adrian Peterson (age 27 season) 131.1 ypg
2013 LeSean McCoy (age 25 season) 100.4 ypg
2014 DeMarco Murray (age 26 season) 115.3 ypg
2015 Adrian Peterson (age 30 season) 92.8 ypg
2016 Ezekiel Elliott (age 21 season) 108.7 ypg
2017 Kareem Hunt (age 22 season) 82.9 ypg
2018 Ezekiel Elliott (age 23 season) 95.6 ypg
2019 Derrick Henry (age 25 season) 102.7 ypg
2020 Derrick Henry (age 26 season) 126.7 ypg
2021 Jonathan Taylor (age 22 season) 106.5 ypg
2022 Josh Jacobs (age 24 season) 97.2 ypg


...So he would be the 2nd lowest of that time, by a healthy amount. He wouldn't generally sniff league lead in a different year. It actually shocked me when I saw he was the lead this year, and the second highest is well behind him. Mostert is the 2nd highest rusher this year and is 14 yards per game behind CMC.
