Titans' rookie Chimere Dike leads the NFL in yardage image

All-purpose yardage is a quirky stat.

But it's still a valuable metric, and in that statistic, there's no one better in the NFL than Chimere Dike.

When you combine rushing, receiving and return yardage, Dike has more yards than anyone in the league.

In fact, Dike's 783 all-purpose yards are more than 100 more than anyone else.

It breaks down like this:

  • 18 receiving yards
  • 17 rushing yards
  • 666 kick return yards
  • 82 punt return yards

Dike has gotten a lot of kick return opportunities already because the Titans have allowed a lot of scoring drives. But he hasn't fumbled yet, and he's consistently put the Titans in solid positions.

Tennessee chose Dike in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, No. 103 overall. He split his college career between Wisconsin and Florida.

The Titans knew he could be a multi-faceted weapon like this when they took him, and so far, so good.

Tennessee will hope it has a few less kick returns in its future, but when they line up for one, they'll know they can count on Dike.
