Jaguars

Jaguars OC Greg Olson indicated that there’s a chance that rookie RB T.J. Yeldon could end up being an “every-down” back for them this season.

“Alabama runs a Pro-Style offense and we were able to see him do things protection-wise and route running-wise and blocking that will translate to this level of football,” Olson said, via the Florida Times Union. “[Playing every down] would be asking a lot of any player. I wouldn’t put it past him. He’s another real self-starter and hard worker.”
