And this is just a stathead addition to that - but statistically, the runner actually gets that yardage to the point of the enforcement. Or at least, he used to. I used to have a copy of the NFL's statistical guidelines many years ago that covered stuff like yardage before penalties and that part has always stuck with me.
Thanks.
