In the NFL the stat of all purpose yards usually refers to the yards obtained during a game, season, or career by a running back or a receiver. The yards referred to are both gained by receiving and rushing. Normally a running back will have the most all purpose yards, because receivers do not usually run the ball as often as runners catch the ball. Due to the formations in the NFL this can be achieved.
