I can't give you that number, but I can give you something. Football Outsiders uses a measure called Success Rate ("A measure of running back consistency based on the percentage of carries where the player gains 40% of needed yards on first down, 60% of needed yards on second down, or 100% of needed yards on third or fourth down.").
Maroney has a success rate of 59%-- the second-highest number in the league.
